Apple Silicon support

Open tmcdonell opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Add support for running accelerate-llvm-native on Apple silicon Macs.

Current status:

  • [ ] Purchase/get access to an apple silicon mac
  • [ ] Update Homebrew formula to support ARM (llvm-hs/homebrew-llvm#21)
  • [x] Update compiler/linker (@robbert-vdh has incidentally done probably the lions share of this as part of his work; we just need to merge that in)
  • [ ] Test, debug, etc.

Update compiler/linker

I haven't tested it on anything other than Linux, but all of that should in theory indeed work on any Unix-like system in my feature/tracy-annotations branch since we're just piggy backing off of the operating system's linker and dynamic linker.

Hey! I don't fully understand the status of the issue. I'm reading it as "in theory it could work already", is that correct?

We're currently trying to build the master branch of accelerate-llvm with GHC 9.0.2 (works fine on x86_64-linux) and seeing some errors on M1. Should I even report them if this effort is still ongoing? If yes, should I create a new issue or attach traces here?

Ah sorry I didn't see your message. I just updated everything to LLVM-15 and tested it works on M1. It could still probably be improved because it doesn't make a distinction between the P and E-cores, but it should at least work correctly. If you find any errors please open a new issue.

Thanks for your patience!
