public class MPSKernel extends NSObject implements NSCopying, NSSecureCoding
The MPSKernel class is the base class for all MPS objects. It defines a standard interface for MPS kernels. You should not use the MPSKernel class directly. Instead, a number of MPSKernel subclasses are available in MetalPerformanceShaders.framework that define specific high-performance image processing operations.
The basic sequence for applying a MPSKernel to an image is as follows:
1. Create a MPSKernel corresponding to the operation you wish to perform: [@code] MPSImageSobel *sobel = [[MPSImageSobel alloc] initWithDevice: mtlDevice]; [@endcode]
2. Encode the filter into a command buffer: [@code] sobel.offset = ...; sobel.clipRect = ...; sobel.options = ...; [sobel encodeToCommandBuffer: commandBuffer sourceTexture: inputImage destinationTexture: resultImage ]; [@endcode] Encoding the kernel merely encodes the operation into a MTLCommandBuffer. It does not modify any pixels, yet. All MPSKernel state has been copied to the command buffer. MPSKernels may be reused. If the texture was previously operated on by another command encoder (e.g. MTLRenderCommandEncoder), you should call -endEncoding on the other encoder before encoding the filter.
Some MPS filters work in place (inputImage = resultImage) even in situations where Metal might not normally allow in place operation on textures. If in-place operation is desired, you may attempt to call [MPSKernel encodeKernelInPlace...]. If the operation can not be completed in place, then NO will be returned and you will have to create a new result texture and try again. To make an in-place image filter reliable, pass a fallback MPSCopyAllocator to the method to create a new texture to write to in the event that a filter can not operate in place.
(Repeat steps 2 for more filters, as desired.)
It should be self evident that step 2 may not be thread safe. That is, you can not have multiple threads manipulating the same properties on the same MPSKernel object at the same time and achieve coherent output. In common usage, the MPSKernel properties don't often need to be changed from their default values, but if you need to apply the same filter to multiple images on multiple threads with cropping / tiling, make additional MPSKernel objects per thread. They are cheap. You can use multiple MPSKernel objects on multiple threads, as long as only one thread is operating on any particular MPSKernel object at a time.
3. After encoding any additional work to the command buffer using other encoders, submit the MTLCommandBuffer to your MTLCommandQueue, using: [@code] [mtlCommandBuffer commit]; [@endcode]
A MPSKernel can be saved to disk / network using NSCoders such as NSKeyedArchiver.
When decoding, the system default MTLDevice will be chosen unless the NSCoder adopts

-copyWithZone: will call this API to make a copy of the MPSKernel on the same device. This interface may also be called directly to make a copy of the MPSKernel on a new device. Typically, the same MPSKernels should not be used to encode kernels on multiple command buffers from multiple threads. Many MPSKernels have mutable properties that might be changed by the other thread while this one is trying to encode. If you need to use a MPSKernel from multiple threads make a copy of it for each additional thread using -copyWithZone: or -copyWithZone:device:

While the standard NSSecureCoding/NSCoding method -initWithCoder: should work, since the file can't know which device your data is allocated on, we have to guess and may guess incorrectly. To avoid that problem, use initWithCoder:device instead.
