Rosenzweig: Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, the end
Alyssa Rosenzweig has written a blog postabout her work to help ship a "great driver
" for the Apple M1GPU that supports OpenGL, Vulkan, and enables gaming with Proton.
We've succeeded beyond my dreams. The challenges I chased, I havetackled. The drivers are fully upstream in Mesa. Performance isn't toobad. With the Vulkan on Apple myth busted, conformant Vulkan is nowcoming to macOS via LunarG'sKosmicKrisp project building on my work.
Satisfied, I am now stepping away from the Apple ecosystem. Myfriends in the Asahi Linux orbit will carry the torch from here.
Rosenzweig indicates her next project will be working on Intel'sXe-HPG graphics architecture. LWN covered her talk on AppleM1/M2 GPU drivers in October2024.
