Would it would work under Rosetta 2 (Apple's x64 emulation/translation layer) until the aarch64/darwin ABI can be ported to GCC? Or is there a reason to assume it might not?
- KenoFischer 6y agoYes, it works mostly fine under Rosetta. However, it is also precisely the area where you don't really want a translation layer, because you're spending a lot of time doing heavy compute.
- ArgyleSound 6y agoThat makes sense. I'm hoping it's going to be an early adopter problem that'll have been solved by the time the transition is deemed complete.
- sitkack 6y agoMany compute heavy tasks are using Metal and those should continue to function at the full speed of the hardware.
- pritambaral 6y agoI doubt GCC is, or even could be, using Metal.
- sitkack 6y agoI am referring to modern HPC like workloads, they will be using the GPU. Not saying GCC is using Metal in any way whatsoever.
- pritambaral 6y agoHPC on macOS? Using Metal instead of CUDA/OpenCL? Sounds extremely rare.
