I have experience with CUDA, but I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to use Metal as an alternative to OpenCL on a Mac for High Performance Computing purposes. It doesn’t seem like there is a lot of material available of parallel programming with Metal outside of graphics.

Yes, you can use Metal for general purpose GPU programming. Apple provides some sample code with a bit of a tutorial.
The main thing that Metal lacks (so far) for compute shaders is support for double.
