Metal is not an application and is not exclusive to iOS. It is a graphics framework and API available to applications in macOS, iOS and tvOS. Current version is Metal 2.
- Metal works hand-in-hand with other frameworks that supplement its capability. Use MetalKit to simplify the task of getting your Metal content onscreen. Use Metal Performance Shaders to implement custom rendering functions or to take advantage of a large library of existing functions.
- MAC Metal Architectural With that in mind we are proud to offer MAC Metal Architectural siding. Located in the suburbs of Montreal for over 20 years, MAC Metal Architectural is a recognized leader in the design and fabrication of premium pre-painted steel siding and roofing.
MoltenVK
Good news! MoltenVK is now available as a free open-source project on GitHub.
Move to the next-generation, cross-platform, Vulkan graphics API on iOS and macOS. Build portable graphics applications and games using the modern, industry-standard Vulkan graphics API, and seamlessly run your application or game across many industry platforms, including iOS and macOS.
Vulkan is the graphics industry's new standard for predictable, high-performance graphics, providing you with unprecedented control of your graphics and compute pipelines. Vulkan is an open standard, developed by the Khronos Group, an industry consortium dedicated to the creation of open standards for the graphics industry. Vulkan is supported by a large number of major industry participants, including hardware vendors, driver implementers, and tool vendors, across many hardware and operating system platforms.
MoltenVK is a runtime library that maps Vulkanto Apple's Metal graphics framework on iOS and macOS. With MoltenVK, you get the performance benefits and added debugging and performance tuning capabilities of the Metal framework on iOS and macOS, without having to rewrite your app that already uses Vulkan, the next-generation open-standard API for high performance GPU acceleration.
By building your application or game using the Vulkan API, you can run your modern graphics application or game unchanged across an entire industry of platforms and development tools.
