What Was Accomplished

December 9, 2025 - Key Developments

Commit 2250e35 - Apple Metal GPU Backend

Complete Metal support for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4):

  • metal_backend.rs - Device discovery, buffer allocation, command encoding
  • metal_compute.rs - Shader compilation and pipeline management
  • metal_blas/mod.rs - MPS GEMM wrapper (~7 TFLOPS on M1 Max)
  • metal_ops.rs - High-level tensor operation dispatch

Commit 48d5b21 - CoW Storage Bug Fix

Fixed copy-on-write storage bug for CUDA in-place operations

Commit 6a6e85a - CUDA Compilation Fix

Unified cudarc to 0.18.1, fixed rtx-runtime CUDA compilation

Commit 75bf793 - Zero-Copy CUDA

Zero-copy CUDA storage access for cuBLAS matmul operations

Commit b59b98b - 9x Training Speedup

Cached PDE tensors + workspace optimization for PINN training

Metal Shading Language Kernels

Kernel File Operations Status
elementwise.metal add, sub, mul, div, neg, abs, sqrt, exp, log, fma Complete
activations.metal ReLU, sigmoid, tanh, GELU, SiLU (forward/backward) Complete
fourier.metal sin/cos for Fourier features, positional encoding Complete
reductions.metal sum, mean, max, min with threadgroup memory Complete

Performance Analysis

Key Insights

  1. Workspace Optimization: Pre-allocated workspace tensors provide the largest performance gain (15-141x for forward pass)

  2. Throughput Scaling: Throughput improves with batch size, reaching 9.66 Melem/s at 100K points

  3. Caching Caveat: Simple tensor caching shows minimal benefit; workspace reuse is more impactful

  4. Memory Bandwidth: RTX 3050 Ti (4GB VRAM) handles PINN workloads efficiently for research-scale problems

Optimization Recommendations

Workload Recommended Config Expected Performance
Small batches (<1K) Fully Optimized ~800 µs/step, 250 Kelem/s
Medium batches (1K-10K) Workspace Optimized ~1 ms/step, 1.0 Melem/s
Large batches (>10K) Workspace Optimized ~10 ms/step, 9.6 Melem/s
Full training loop Fully Optimized 80 ms/100 epochs (5.9x faster)
