# Accelerating ray tracing using Metal

Implement ray-traced rendering using GPU-based parallel processing.

## Overview

Overview note: This sample code project is associated with WWDC22 session 10105: Maximize your Metal ray tracing performance and WWDC20 session 10012: Discover ray tracing with Metal. Configure the sample code project This sample requires the following system and software configuration: macOS 11 or later iOS 14 or later Xcode 12 or later
