The project is not utilizing any of my Apple Silicon Mac 10 GPU cores, only the 10 CPU cores, even though this project has GPU support on Windows, why does this not work on MacOS?

the calculations performed here are mostly FP64.
the Apple Silicon GPU does not support FP64 at all.

therefore, supporting this GPU is impossible. it's not macos that's the problem. it's your hardware that's the problem.
