Vulkan is not vendor-dependent. It runs on AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and Qualcomm chipsets. It runs on a huge number of operating systems.
(Vulkan performance on the Pi 4 just got a big performance boost, btw.)
It seems the only gotcha is that Apple is being difficult and not supporting Vulkan on MacOS, but MoltenVK is "within a handful of tests" of Vulkan 1.0 conformity.
- lights0123 5y agoAnd MoltenVK isn't just an experiment or hobby project, it's already being used in production—one prominent example is Autodesk Fusion 360, which even uses it on M1.
- Mikeb85 5y agoApple is holding back both the open web and open graphics. They're a cancer on the industry (and why I'll never give them a penny nor ever develop for one of their platforms).
- ncmncm 5y agoAnd, Kompute (kompute.cc) is a portable substitute for CUDA, given Vulkan 1.1. I wonder now whether the Vulkan API is an adequate interface to securely expose GPU capabilities to multiple VMs, i.e. without those VMs being able to see other VMs' memory. If not, what would need to happen to get there?
