We present a novel method for 3D anisotropic front propagation and apply it to the simulation of geological folding. The new iterative algorithm has simple structure abundant parallelism, is easily adapted multithreaded architectures using OpenMP. Moreover, we have used automated C-to-CUDA source code translator, Mint, achieve greatly enhanced computing speed on GPUs. Both OpenMP CUDA implementations been tested benchmarked several examples
