MacOS for RuyDOS, Sapeli, Scorpio, Topple Chess

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello,

someone from SDChess asked if Macintosh editions of the following programs could be created:

RuyDOS 1.1.10 https://bitbucket.org/alonamaloh/ruydos/src/default/
Sapeli 1.35 https://github.com/SamuraiDangyo/Sapeli/releases
Scorpio 2.9.0 NN https://github.com/SamuraiDangyo/Sapeli/releases
Topple Chess 0.7.2 https://github.com/konsolas/ToppleChess/releases/

Regards,
Norbert

As to Scorpio NN, TensorRT is not available for mac so i guess that is not going to happen any time soon.
However, tensorflow is available for mac so that could work to run it both on cpu and gpu -- although the gpu
could be 2-3x slower. Scorpio is ofcourse available on mac if it is not using NN.

Installing tensor flow on macOS is not for the faint of heart, but possible. My guess is that any macOS NN engine should be compiled on the machine its going to be used due to the required dependancies which are needed, It can be done, but you may have to jump through a lot of hoops.
