Is Octane on macOS a dead-end?
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2018 2:37 am
I love using macOS for work, but it's starting to feel like a dying platform for many pro-level applications. The latest macOS Mojave doesn't support CUDA at all, but what's alarming is there doesn't appear to be anyone left that cares. I didn't even see it mentioned that it didn't have CUDA support at launch. There's hardly anyone talking about it.

What's the long-term roadmap for Octane on macOS? Will it always be CUDA-dependent or will it work with Metal2/Vulkan at some point? Is it time to give up and move to Win10?
Would be great to hear some opinions and any insights, thanks.

Apple's recently released macOS 10.14 (Mojave) does not support CUDA. For CUDA developers who are on macOS 10.13, it is recommended to not upgrade to Mojave. Developers may not be able to use Xcode 10 to build GPU applications or run CUDA applications.
