Hi, I found this work about GPU programming with apple silicon machines very interesting :

[Seamless GPU acceleration for C++ based physics using unified processing units: A case study for elastic wave propagation and PDE-constrained optimization](https://larsgeb.github.io/msl-portal/)

and I wonder if Metal.jl was mature enough to try to port it to Julia…

`Metal.jl` is under development. The following post is related to this package:
