This disclosure describes a graphics processing unit programmed to generate a sample path for the demand of the one or more products at a store based at least in part on data associated with a historical distribution of the variability of the demand of the one or more products. The graphics processing unit may generate a thread corresponding to a plurality scenarios. The graphics processing unit may execute the thread in parallel to determine one or more parameters for each of the plurality of scenarios for the one or more products. The graphics processing unit may select the one or more parameters generated from the execution of one of the sample paths to minimize the cost. The graphics processing unit may adjust an inventory management system to set an inventory management setting based at least in part on the selection of the one or more parameters.
