Because Vulkan is cross-device, cross-platform. I dont want to tied to the Desktop or to Nvidia.
Vulkan Compute shaders work in recent Android devices and on every Windows/Linux PC that has a <5 year old dedicated GPU. And for iOS/OSX there is an interop layer in the works that will enable Vulkan over Metal.
- gmueckl 9y agoApple has direct support for OpenCL. Why would you want to use a Metal wrapper instead?
- pjmlp 9y ago> Vulkan Compute shaders work in recent Android devices Actually no. Vulkan is an optional API, so unless we are talking about Samsung and Google flagships phones, there is no guarantee of it being available. So far Google hasn't even bothered to add it to the dashboards. For compute, only Renderscript is required.
