Next week at XDC, there will be a half dozen sessions on the Vulkan API including tips and tricks for Vulkan Conformance Test Suite, KosmicKrisp - a Vulkan to Metal layered driver, and more. Check out all the Vulkan sessions: www.khronos.org/events/xdc-2... #vulkan #api #KosmicKrisp #XDC #XDC2025

Curious how NSS can deliver crisp frames at a fraction of the GPU load in Unreal Engine 5.5? 💻 In this Code-Along + Expert Q&A, we’ll set up @vulkan.org ML emulation, enable the NSS plugin, and visualize ML-powered upscaling in real time on Arm emulation layers. www.arm.com/resources/we...

Less than a month before the deadline for Vulkanised submissions passes on Sunday, October 12th. Vulkanised provides a great opportunity to share your work, your ideas, and unique perspectives with your peers in the Vulkan ecosystem. www.vulkan.org/events/vulka... #vulkan #api

When I started work on my @vulkan.org #Vulkan C++ samples almost 10 years ago I made some non-optimal decisions esp. around sync and command buffer recording. Finally fixed those and did a write-up with a small retrospective at www.saschawillems.de/blog/2025/08...

Khronos Group's Dennis Fu presented at this year's Huawei Developer Conference held in Songshan Lake, China. Dennis gave two presentations: AR/VR for OpenXR and Graphics and Gaming for Vulkan/glTF.

New update for the @vulkan.org #Vulkan Hardware Capability Viewer released. This adds in support for several new extensions and also is the first version with native builds for Linux ARM64 thanks to an external contribution. Download at: vulkan.gpuinfo.org/download.php

Synchronization in Vulkan has been a frustrating challenge for many developers. So, in order to simplify, we present the VK_KHR_unified_image_layouts extension which aims to eliminate the need for most layout transitions entirely. Learn more: khr.io/1ky #vulkan #synchronization #API

Playing around with #Vulkan @vulkan.org and JoltPhysics. Integrating Jolt was pretty straight-forward (compared to other physics engines). Both in terms of build setup and code. Nice job @jrouwe.bsky.social :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yc6...

ICYMI ➡️ Just about 6 weeks after we announced #Vulkan 1.1 conformance, #PanVK is now officially conformant with the #Vulkan 1.2 specification on the Arm Mali-G610 GPU! col.la/pvkcf12 #Panfrost #OpenSource @vulkan.org

Push descriptors apply the push constants concept to descriptor sets. Instead of creating per-object descriptor sets, this example passes descriptors at command buffer creation time. github.com/KhronosGroup...

Finally finished adding @shader-slang.bsky.social shaders to all my (almost 100) @vulkan.org open source samples and wrote a bit about it here: www.saschawillems.de/blog/2025/06... tl;dr: I very much enjoyed this :)

New Vulkan Video Decode VP9 extension! With the release of version 1.4.317 of the Vulkan specification, this set of extensions is being expanded with the introduction of VP9 decoding. khr.io/1j2 #vulkan #vulkanVideo #video
