When we talk about GPU acceleration we’re talking about GPGPU, that is, general-purpose computing on graphics processing units. What does it all mean? Well, pull up a chair because Create Pro is here to break it all down. You’ve heard of it, but you’ve also heard lots of confusing terms bandied around, GPGPU, CUDA, real-time rendering, OpenCL, Mercury Graphics Engine, Metal. GPU hardware acceleration is a thing, and it has been a thing for quite some time now. So you’re a Mac user and a creative, plus it’s 2020. Games and graphics-intensive apps that use OpenGL should now. Apps built using OpenGL and OpenCL will continue to run in macOS 10.14, but these legacy technologies are deprecated in macOS 10.14.Global Nav Open Menu Global Nav Close Menu Apple Shopping Bag +.OpenCL lets you tap into the parallel computing power of modern GPUs and multicore CPUs to accelerate compute-intensive tasks in your Mac apps.Use OpenCL to incorporate advanced numerical and data analytics features, perform cutting-edge image and media processing, and deliver accurate physics and AI simulation in games.
