Reference Machine: Apple M3 Max (16 CPU cores, 40 Metal GPU cores, 16 Apple Neural Engine cores, 48 GB Unified Memory) - Unlocking the Apple Neural Engine for Physical AI: While Apple's 16-Core NPU (38 TOPS) was designed primarily for vision and speech, physical PDE operators historically failed to run on it due to unsupported tensor primitives. By algebraically reformulating complex Fourier spectral convolutions and dynamic graph scatter into native Apple Machine Intermediate Language (MIL) representations, all 8 foundation networks achieve up to 98.4% ANE execution with 0 CPU fallbacks. - Extreme Energy Efficiency (0.071 J / step for ANE aerodynamic solver to 10.8 J for global weather at…
