    Rosenzweig: Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, the end

    Description:
    Alyssa Rosenzweig has written a blog post about her work to help ship a " great driver " for the Apple M1
    GPU that supports OpenGL, Vulkan, and enables gaming with Proton . We've succeeded beyond my dreams. The challenges I chased, I have
    tackled. The drivers are fully upstream in Mesa. Performance isn't too
    bad. With the Vulkan on Apple myth busted, conformant Vulkan is now
    coming to macOS via LunarG's
    KosmicKrisp project building on my work. Satisfied, I am now stepping away from the Apple ecosystem. My
    friends in the Asahi Linux orbit will carry the torch from here. Rosenzweig indicates her next project will be working on Intel's H e -HPG graphics architecture . LWN covered her talk on Apple
    M1/M2 GPU drivers in October2024.
