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.
