macos-metal-gpu

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the steep learning curve and fragmented documentation associated with Metal GPU programming on macOS, providing a single, production-grade reference for implementing high-performance rendering and compute workloads.

Core Features & Use Cases

• MTKView & SwiftUI Integration: Embed Metal rendering views directly in SwiftUI apps using NSViewRepresentable, with correct drawable sizing, display link configuration, and coordinator pattern implementation.
• GPU & Pipeline Management: Select optimal GPUs for workloads, build efficient render and compute pipelines, and manage GPU resources with MTLHeap to reduce memory overhead and enable resource aliasing.
• Use Case: For a macOS video editing app, use this Skill to implement GPU-accelerated video filter compute pipelines, select the high-performance GPU for heavy rendering tasks, and synchronize compute and render passes to avoid visual artifacts.

Quick Start

Use the macos-metal-gpu skill to add a GPU-accelerated image blur compute pipeline to your macOS app, with correct threadgroup sizing and synchronization between the compute and render passes.
