M1 GPUs for (scientific) computations in C++

In this repo, I explore the capabilities of the Metal Shading Language combined with C++, specifically for use of accelerating scientific codes.

This repo accompaines "Seamless GPU acceleration for C++ based physics using the M1's unified processing units, a case study for elastic wave propagation and full-waveform inversion". If you use VSCode, all instructions to compile can be found in .vscode.

I also wrote a few blog posts about the work in this repo:

• Getting started
• SAXPY and FD

However, if you just want to try out the code, make sure you install llvm and libomp using brew and Xcode and its command line tools. By cloning the repo and opening it in VSCode you should have all build configurations.

Additionally, I wrote a preprint (with the actual paper currently in peer-review) on how to use MSL for modelling of PDEs available on arXiv.
