AGXRHI is starting out as a clone of MetalRHI, but will be refactored and overhauled with several goals in mind:
- Reduce/Eliminate technical debt
- Substantially improve readability and maintainability
- Introduce clear layers for platform independent vs dependent code
- Reduce memory footprint and generally improve memory usage
- Remove legacy concepts (like manual reference counting) and enable better integration with platform tools
- Implement newer and more modern features provided by Metal (such as ray tracing and enhanced command buffer debugging)
- Target/tune the software architecture and API usage for performance on Apple designed GPUs
