 **Architecture:**
-- Backend-agnostic GPU interface (designed for future CUDA support)
-- Zero-copy CPU/GPU data sharing via unified memory
+- Backend-agnostic GPU interface supporting multiple backends
+- Zero-copy CPU/GPU data sharing via unified memory (when available)
 - Runtime shader compilation for flexibility
 - Batch processing for efficient GPU utilization
 
+**Supported Backends:**
+- **Metal**: Optimized for Apple Silicon unified memory architecture
+- **CUDA**: Support for NVIDIA GPUs (compute capability 6.0+)
+- **CPU Fallback**: Graceful fallback when no GPU is available
+
 **GPU-Accelerated Operations:**
 - NNUE batch evaluation infrastructure
 - Batch SEE (Static Exchange Evaluation)
