Is there any likelihood that we could auto build for Mac for each release?

Has there been a known working mac compilation yet?

The problem is that to my knowledge Mac does not support CUDA because you need an Nvidia graphics card.

PS: I've reported the post from caichenyi92 to GitHub. It automatically post in every GitHub Issue here and it's is so annoying...

@caichenyi92 please stop spamming us with your emails.

Ok that makes sense, is there any plans to support another type of compute shader?

tavurth commented 1 year ago

Probably @caichenyi92 is watching this repo for new issues and the email setup for her Github is university account which has auto reply.

Not at the moment. There are at least two APIs that would be good candidates to replace CUDA: OpenCL and HIP. I'd like to evaluate the latter in particular, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

This is really cool. Please consider a macOS version. Thanks.

Hey! Just found this program from a educational YouTube video, and I was pretty saddened once I saw it was CUDA only. As I have a AMD card. Any updates / news on openCL support? As this would allow a wider range of users to use this software.
