Optimally Shooting Furry Balls out of Vulkanoes
summary
A concise cookbook for doing real work with Vulkan: builds a tiny C++ layer of RAII handle wrappers, accelerator_view abstraction, command-pool/queue selection, buffer binding and scoped memory mapping, and enables validation layers for safer startup. Implements rendering (two-triangle / fullscreen quad tests) and a GPU parallel sort — an odd-even transposition sort using shared memory with one atomic per workgroup — compiled from GLSL to SPIR‑V via Vulkan + Shaderc; the examples run and demonstrate the abstractions scale.
