on 02021-11-02Apparently #OpenCL on #Vulkan sucks; neither #clspv nor #clvk is soup yet, and OpenCL support in #Mesa is still “dismal” (because only 1.2 I guess), but gets better with #AMD’s #ROCm and really good with NVIDIA’s proprietary driver. #GPGPU

on 02021-11-02"clspv" is an implementation of #OpenCL (1.2) on #Vulkan. “The OpenCL C 1.2 language provides an expressive variant of the C language with which to program heterogeneous architectures.” #GPGPU

on 02021-11-02‘“But Vulkan is the hardz” I hear you saying. “Shouldn’t I start with something easy like OpenGL?” Emphatically I say NO. The point is that #Vulkan removes the mystery. It spells things out, plain as day. And for a programmer, this is awesome! It’s intellectually honest about what it needs, and what it’s doing. It will teach you what it really means to program a GPU.’ #graphics #tutorial
on 02017-08-06SchaeferGL, now "VK9", is an implementation of Direct3D 9, which many argue is the best medium between inflexibility and inaccessibility for 3D APIs, on #Vulkan.
