After nearly three years of work, the Khronos consortium, which is responsible for developing graphics standards, has published the Vulkan 1.4 specification, which defines the API for accessing the graphics and computational capabilities of GPUs. The new specification incorporates previously optional extensions and provides a range of new features while increasing the minimum hardware requirements. The Vulkan SDK toolkit is planned to be released in January 2025. <\/p>\n
Products supporting Vulkan 1.4 are being prepared for release by AMD, Arm, Imagination, Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and Samsung. Open drivers for AMD GPUs (radv), Apple M1\/M2 (honeykrisp), Intel (anv), NVIDIA (nvk), and Qualcomm (tu), developed by the Mesa project, have already passed all compatibility tests with Vulkan 1.4 from the CTS (Khronos Conformance Test Suite) and are included in the list of certified drivers. The list also includes drivers from Samsung and Qualcomm for the Android platform, as well as drivers for PowerVR D-Series DXT* GPUs from Imagination Technologies and proprietary NVIDIA drivers. <\/p>\n
Key innovations: <\/p>\n
The Vulkan API is notable for its radical simplification of drivers, offloading GPU command generation to the application side, enabling the connection of debugging layers, unifying the API for different platforms, and applying precompiled intermediate code for execution on the GPU. <\/p>\n
To ensure high performance and predictability, Vulkan provides applications with means for direct control of GPU operations and built-in support for multi-threaded GPU command processing, which minimizes the overhead imposed by drivers, while the capabilities implemented on the driver side are significantly simplified and become more predictable. For instance, operations like memory management and error handling that are implemented in OpenGL on the driver side are moved to the application level in Vulkan. <\/p>\n
Vulkan covers all available platforms and provides a unified API for desktop, mobile systems, and the Web, allowing the use of a single common API for various graphics processors and application areas. Thanks to Vulkan's layered architecture, which implies the creation of tools that work with any GPU, hardware manufacturers can use standard tools for code validation, debugging, and profiling during development. <\/p>\n
For shader creation, a portable intermediate representation SPIR-V is proposed, based on LLVM and using shared foundational technologies with OpenCL. HLSL, the shader language used in DirectX, can also be utilized with Vulkan through its translation to SPIR-V. For managing devices and screens in Vulkan, a Window System Integration (WSI) interface is proposed, which addresses roughly the same tasks as EGL in OpenGL ES. WSI support is available out of the box in Wayland \u2014 all applications using Vulkan can run in unmodified environments. servers<\/a> Wayland. Support for WSI is also provided for Android, X11 (with DRI3), Windows, Tizen, macOS, and iOS. \u041f\u043e\u0441\u043b\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0442\u0438 \u0442\u0440\u0451\u0445 \u043b\u0435\u0442
