I-Imagination Technologies ibhengeze inkxaso ye-OpenGL 4.6 yemizobo ye-API kwii-GPU zayo, iphunyezwe kusetyenziswa umqhubi we-Zink ovulelekileyo ophuhliswe kwindawo yokugcina iprojekthi ye-Mesa. I-Zink ibonelela ngomiliselo lwe-OpenGL ngaphezulu kweVulkan ukwenza i-OpenGL yehardware isebenze kwizixhobo ezixhasa kuphela iVulkan API. Ukusebenza kwe-Zink kusondele ekusebenzeni kokuphunyezwa kwe-OpenGL yendalo, evumela abavelisi be-hardware ukuba bangachithi izibonelelo ekuphumezeni i-OpenGL kwii-GPU zabo kwaye banciphise ukuxhasa kuphela i-Vulkan API kuzo, kwaye basebenzise i-OpenGL ngokusebenzisa umaleko. I-Imagination Technologies yaba ngumenzi wokuqala ukusebenzisa esi sikimu.
Isisombululo esilungisiweyo savavanywa ngempumelelo kwi-CTS (i-Khronos Conformance Test Suite) kwaye yafunyanwa ihambelana ngokupheleleyo neenkcukacha ze-OpenGL 4.6. Le yimveliso yokuqala esekelwe kwiZink eqinisekiswe ngokusemthethweni nguKhronos. Ngokuhambelana neendlela ze-Khronos, ukuba omnye ukuphunyezwa okusekelwe kwi-Zink kuqinisekisiwe, umqhubi we-Zink ngokwawo, njengoluhlu lwehlabathi lonke, uya kuqatshelwa ngokusemthethweni njengehambelana ne-OpenGL 4.6. Ukufumana isatifikethi kwenza kube lula ukubhengeza ngokusesikweni ukuhambelana nemigangatho yegraphic kwaye usebenzise iimpawu zentengiso ze-Khronos ezinxulumene nazo.
Eminye imisebenzi igxininisa uphuhliso lwe-Imagination Technologies lwe-open-source driver suite yee-GPU zayo ezisekelwe kwi-Rogue. Le suite ibandakanya i-DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) driver ye-kernel. Linux, umqhubi onokuqaliswa kokuqala kweVulkan 1.0, kunye neseti ye-firmware yeGPU. Umqhubi weVulkan sele engenisiwe kwi-Mesa core distribution, kwaye umqhubi we-DRM ulungiselela ukufakwa kwi-core kernel. LinuxKwixesha elizayo, inkxaso yeZink ingongezwa kule khithi, nto leyo ekhokelela ekubeni kubekho i-graphics stack evuleke ngokupheleleyo kwi-Imagination hardware, exhasa i-OpenGL kunye ne-Vulkan.
