[Mesa-users] Need your suggestion for switching from Linux to macOS

[Amar Aryan]

Dear Prof. Rich,

I could install MESA on my new MacBook Pro with M3 Chip, 24 GB Unified
memory, 8 Core CPU, 10 Core GPU, and 16 Core Neural Engine. It is working
perfectly fine, it seems!

I am using MESA with:  export OMP_NUM_THREADS = 8   ! (Do you any
suggestions regarding this?)

With regards,
Amar
