OSX & GPU

[Riccardo A. Ballerini]

Hi,
I'm not a programmer so I am just asking

PI is the only app, so far, that makes my MBP M2Pro starting the fans.
I then checked the Activity Monitor and noticed that the load is completely on the CPU end nothing on the GPU.
I was just wondering if, giving some "work" to the GPU could speed up PI.
WBP processing is sooo long with the new small pixel cameras ...not to mention if one uses 2x drizzle :\
A 2600 class camera can take 90' to drizzle process let's say 50 frames on my mbp

59' for 48 frames with drizzle 1x on such a fast machine.... :\
(M2Pro 32GB - Ventura 13.4 PI 1.8.9.1)

When I heard the fans full throttle I sampled the activity at 708% CPU and 0%GPU

Any hope for a foreseeing future improvement in performance on OS?

Thank you for your great work

Riccardo

It’s unlikely that the GPUs will be used on Apple silicon for a long time to come. It hasn’t even come to cuda based GPUs. Not all the processes benefit from GPU use as well. Right now only some third party processes will make use of GPUs at all.

what a pity :\
I really don't like 1+ hours for preprocessing

I really hope in some kind of silicon optimization

tahnk you!
