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

[RICHARD H D TOWNSEND]

Hi Amar —

I often will leave OMP_NUM_THREADS unset, letting the operating system decide on the best choice. But in your case, setting it to 8 should be fine.

cheers,

Rich

Now, I am planning to switch to a macOS laptop for my further MESA-specific studies; therefore, I need your kind suggestions on selecting one. I am planning to buy a MacBook Pro with an Apple M3 Max chip having 16-core, 40-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine.
