Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Can R on a Mac use the GPU

H Bill, I am not aware of any packages that do this for you directly. While it is certainly possible to write a Metal shader that will get the job done, it will likely take a substantial amount of non-trivial effort. To further complicate the issue Apple GPUs do not support double-precision

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Apple Silicon aka M1 Macs

Thank you for this update! I think that Apple Silicon has great potential for data science, the SPEC benchmarks reported by Anandtech look very encouraging. My M1 Mac should be arriving shortly, is there some way one could help out with the effort? — Taras > On 17 Nov 2020, at 15:57, Prof
