Vulkan project targeted the same ideal as Mantle and eventually That look very different from what is commonly deployed today. With X, OpenGL was initially devised for hardware and software stacks Hardware platforms: build an OpenGL-like API from the ground up thatĭispensed with years' worth of legacy architecture no longer applicableįor Linux users, the parallels to Wayland and X11 are clear. Its goals were of interest to graphics-software developers on many Mantle was, understandably, an AMD-only effort, but Project, which was started in 2013, but shutĭown in 2015. Many of the ideas in Vulkan originated in AMD's Mantle API Profiles, from embedded systems to desktops.

Simplified driver development, and a single API that covers all device However, Vulkan promises higher performance on modern GPU hardware, The test in a major way on the average Linux system.

The Vulkan API is designed to be a lightweight API-at least in comparison to Specification, has released version 1.0 of its new cross-platform The Khronos Group, which (among other things) maintains the OpenGL
