What Can Vulkan do for You?
Talkat Embedded Linux Conference + OpenIoT Summit North America 2017 · on Wednesday, 2017-02-22· at 16:20· Atrium Ballroom·
summary
Vulkan is presented as a ground-up 3D graphics and compute API from Khronos that differs from OpenGL/OpenGL ES by being leaner, matching modern hardware, and enabling multithreaded rendering for embedded systems. The talk covers concrete differences and advantages for embedded graphics development and surveys open-source efforts—applications, tools, and Intel’s Vulkan driver work (including contributions to Mesa and NIR)—supporting Vulkan deployment.
