When Vulkan first hit the scene back in 2015, it was all over the place in terms of hardware and software support. Now that more parties have begun implementing and using it, however, things are ...

Intel demonstrated the capabilities of the Vulkan API at the recent SIGGRAPH 2015 event. This weekend it made a video available featuring its Stardust graphics demo running on a Windows machine ...

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of subroutine definitions, communication protocols, and tools that are used for building software. Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is a ...

One of the biggest expected announcements at SIGGRAPH(Opens in a new window) this week has been delayed: The Kronos Group has yet to release its Vulkan API. Fortunately, Imagination Technologies has ...

The Khronos Group announced today Vulkan, its next generation API for high performance 3D graphics and GPU-based computation. Vulkan, previously known as Next Generation OpenGL or just GLnext, is ...

Intel showcased the benefits of the Vulkan API during SIGGRAPH 2015 and exemplified its viability as a mainstream alternative to OpenGL. The Stardust graphics demonstration was conducted on an Intel ...

Throughout the past few weeks, I’ve received some passionate pleas from hardware fans wanting me to include Doom Vulkan testing and conduct a performance analysis. Of course, I understand the reason ...

The Khronos Group has announced that Vulkan is finally released and ready to be used on any platform you desire. The full specification of Vulkan, 1.0, is available for everyone and is as robust and ...

For the benchmarks, I'm using my standard testbed, which you can see to the right. I didn't do a full set of additional CPU scaling tests this round, due to time constraints, but I did a few quick ...

It's been a long and somewhat bumpy road to 1.0 release for the Vulkan API. After changing its name from GL Next and missing its initial launch window in 2015, Vulkan has arrived. The API's based ...

AMD’s Mantle 1.0 is indeed dead, but like a Jedi, it looks to have risen in the form of the Kronos Group’s new open standard, cross-platform Vulkan API (but without Obi Wan’s weird blue glow). As I ...

Low-overhead graphics APIs are all the rage these days, at least if you’re the sort of person who gets excited about graphics APIs. iOS 8 introduced Metal last year, and OS X El Capitan will bring the ...
