Running EMMCOpenCL from EMsoftOO on Mac M3

[hakonanes]

Hi Marc and Co.,

I cannot find a way to install an OpenCL driver on my Mac M3 that EMsoft can detect:

(base) hakon:~ $ EMOpenCLinfo

No OpenCL platforms were found; this means that EMsoft programs with OpenCL
functionality will not work properly.  Please check your OpenCL configuration.
    ----> EMOpenCLinfo: No OpenCL functionality detected on this system
Number of Platforms: 0

 CU = Compute Units;
 MWGS = Maximum Work Group Size;
 MWIS = Maximum Work Item Sizes (3D);
 GMS = Global Memory Size (Gb);
 LMS = Local Memory Size (Mb);
 MAS = Maximum Allocatable Memory Size (Mb)

Thus I cannot run programs like EMMCOpenCL. Is there another way I can simulate a master pattern without OpenCL?

Hi @hakonanes , are you using macOS 15 Sequoia? The program runs fine on M3, but there's an issue with EMsoftOO on macOS 15 now(EMsoft 5.0 works fine for me on M3 Mac).

[hakonanes]

Hi @Yimin-Zhu, thank you for responding and describing the fix!

Yes, Sequoia (15.3.2). Using the latest changes to EMsoft 5.0.2 on the develop branch, I got EMMCfoil running so that I could run EMTKDmaster, which was my goal.

Leaving this issue open, though, as it isn't solved.

FYI, I have the same issue on my M4Pro chip which also runs Sequoia. I discussed with Marc over e-mail and he was planning to troubleshoot this using someone's Mac remotely, if I remember correctly.

Any updates, @Tijmenvermeij?

Any updates, @Tijmenvermeij?

Hi, as far as I know no updates... I didn't hear from @marcdegraef about it.
