Arm Community blog has a new post on using compute post-processing in Vulkan on Mali. This blog post outlines how you can use two Vulkan queues with different priorities to enable optimal scheduling for compute post-processing workloads.
GL-Z is an OpenGL and Vulkan information utility for Windows, Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi and Tinker Board. GL-Z 0.4.0, based on GeeXLab, has been released with the following new features: OpenGL memory usage for GeForce and Radeon GPUs on Windows and Linux; Vulkan API information for each Vulkan-capable device and more.
LunarG has updated its white paper that describes using spirv-opt to reduce SPIR-V size. New discussions include using spirv-opt to “legalize” SPIR-V when generated from HLSL; SPIR-V integration with the glslang and dxc frontends; description of new size reduction passes available in spirv-opt; and updates to the recommended recipe for those who wish to customize their optimization.
The QtBase dev branch, which will become Qt 5.12, now has experimental Vulkan support, courtesy of MoltenVK and prior work in Qt. When the MoltenVK Vulkan to Metal translation library was open sourced earlier this year, this opened the question of how to make this work with Qt. Check out the Qt blog to learn how support for MoltenVK was accomplished.
The X-Plane cross-platform flight simulator has been depending upon OpenGL for nearly two decades since the program first came into existence, but a port of its rendering engine to use the Vulkan API has been a work-in-progress. It looks like their Vulkan support is getting squared away as the company has tweeted this weekend they will be talking about Vulkan integration this weekend at the Flight Sim Expo in Las Vegas.
Complete video from the Vulkanised 2018 in Cambridge UK is now online. If you were not able to get to the May event, you may now watch the seven Vulkan sessions online.
