MetalPetal

Leverages Apple's Metal API for real-time image and video processing, with automatic optimizations like caching and render graph minimization to reduce memory and render passes.

Enables custom filter creation using Metal shaders, with support for multiple render targets (MRT) and complex render passes, as shown in the 'Build Custom Filter' section.

Provides a type-safe Swift API with the => operator for intuitive filter graph composition, enhancing developer experience for Swift programmers.

Includes a wide range of filters for color adjustment, blending, distortion, and blur, with community contributions like high-pass skin smoothing and CLAHE.

MTIContext can be safely shared across threads for concurrent rendering, improving efficiency in multi-threaded applications, as noted in concurrency considerations.
