## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2064, "days_push": 1612, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived, no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Research repository for reverse-engineering the Apple M1 GPU to build an open-source 3D graphics stack, including a Metal API interception wrapper. Development has since moved in-tree into Mesa, so this repo is no longer in use.

## Use cases
- reverse engineer apple m1 gpu
- build open source gpu driver for apple silicon
- intercept metal api calls
- research m1 gpu command stream and isa
- contribute to asahi linux graphics stack

## When to avoid
- you want a working M1 GPU driver - use Mesa instead
- you need actively maintained code

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: graphics, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, hardware, operating-systems
- platform: cpp, c
- tags: apple-m1, gpu-driver, mesa, reverse-engineering, research, macos
