Metal框架提供极低开销的GPU访问途径，实现高性能图形渲染及计算任务。它消除了传统图形API中的瓶颈，如状态验证成本，并将所有昂贵的状态转换和编译操作移出了关键路径。Metal还支持预编译着色器、状态对象和显式命令调度。

Introduction

Classes Protocols Other Reference

The Metal Framework provides extremely low-overhead access to the GPU, enabling incredibly high performance for your sophisticated graphics rendering and computational tasks. Metal eliminates many performance bottlenecks—such as costly state validation—that are found in traditional graphics APIs. Metal moves all expensive state translation and compilation operations out of the critical path of your most performance sensitive rendering code. It provides precompiled shaders, state objects, and explicit command scheduling to ensure that your application achieves the highest possible performance and efficiency.

Graphics, compute, and blit commands can be used together seamlessly and efficiently. Metal is specifically designed to exploit modern architectural considerations, such as multiprocessing and shared memory, to make it easy to parallelize the creation of GPU commands.
