Vulkan学习资料汇总（持续更新)

Vulkan 资料

Khronos 网站可以查看到相关API以及相关文档。目前大多数PC显卡经过更新最新驱动，已经可以支持Vulkan，移动平台 Mali T860和T880以及以上都可以支持了，还有高通的骁龙820. 目前这样的手机设备也很多，比如小米5，乐视2  魅族note3 等等。

Khronos Resources

• Homepage
• Registry
• Vulkan Discussion Forum
• Online Quick Reference
• Online Reference Pages
• Adopters Process
• Conformant Products
• YouTube Channel
• Khronos Chapters supporting Vulkan:
  • Khronos UK Chapter
  • Khronos Munchen Chapter

跟OpenGL类似，由于Khronos只给出相关API ,各个GPU厂商根据自己的GPU具体实现，所以不同的Gpu有不同的实现，但是接口是一致的，除非有各自的扩展。
