Portability

Full support for RISC-V

We now provide full support for RISC-V, including hardware cycle counters for efficient load balancing.

Initial support for Apple silicon GPUs

We now recognize Apple-designed GPUs as a supported architecture in the OpenCL backend.

PME GPU offload on macOS

Until now, PME calculations could not be offloaded to the GPU on macOS. They required the clFFT library, which silently crashed Apple’s OpenCL drivers at runtime. To overcome this incompatibility, we replaced the clFFT backend with VkFFT on macOS.

Increase of required versions
