[IDV #JJR-813844]: WRF output

Randy,

Interesting question. Right now, I don't think there is anyway to do that.
However, remember that the IDV is a Java application. I believe there is talk
of future versions of Java being able to harness the GPU for calculations.
This should hopefully happen automatically without the developer having
to do anything. We will have to wait and see.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
