Hi! “Metal” refers to a low-level graphics API (application programming interface) developed by Apple for iOS, macOS, and tvOS. It allows developers to take advantage of the GPU (graphics processing unit) in Apple devices to create high-performance graphics and visual effects.

“Metal MRT” stands for “Metal Multi-Resource Techniques”. It is a set of techniques used to improve the efficiency and performance of graphics rendering on Apple devices. Specifically, it allows developers to better manage resources such as memory and bandwidth to avoid unnecessary rendering and reduce overall rendering time.

In summary, both “Metal” and “Metal MRT” are related to graphics rendering on iOS devices. “Metal” is the API that developers use to access the GPU and create high-performance graphics, while “Metal MRT” is a set of techniques used to optimize the rendering process and improve efficiency.
