The Khronos Group announced the availability of technical previews of the new Vulkan open standard API for high-efficiency access to graphics on modern GPUs in a wide variety of devices. Vulkan provides applications direct control over GPU acceleration for maximized performance and predictability, and uses Khronos’ new SPIR-V specification for shading language flexibility. Initial specifications and implementations are expected later this year. More on The Khronos Group’s website.
