Vulkan is a cross-platform industry standard enabling developers to target a wide range of devices with the same graphics API. Official bsky account. 🦋 Official account:
This series is about "Collaborative Engineering" — using AI deliberately and rigorously, not just autocomplete. It sets up an AI-enhanced toolchain, teaches you to pick and specialize models for graphics work, and shows where multimodal vision models can be trusted. docs.vulkan.org/tutorial/lat...
Vulkan's hardest topic, rebuilt around the modern standard. This series replaces legacy 1.0 barrier soup with `vk::DependencyInfo` and timeline semaphores, then uses that foundation to architect an engine-grade frame loop. docs.vulkan.org/tutorial/lat... #vulkan #gpu #cpu #synchronization
Vulkanised 2027, the 9th Vulkan Developer Conference, heads to Kortrijk, Belgium on February 8–10, 2027, hosted by HOWEST University of Applied Sciences. Call for Submission is now open. Learn more: vulkan.org/events/vulka... #Vulkanised2027 #Vulkan #GraphicsProgramming #GPU #CallForSubmissions
Vulkan is deprecating host-side ray tracing acceleration structure build commands in favor of a single, device-address-based path. This aligns #Vulkan Ray Tracing with the direction of DirectX Raytracing, modern engine architecture, and hardware trends. www.khronos.org/blog/vulkan-... #RayTracing
The Vulkan Working Group has published, Building a Simple Game Engine, a new in-depth tutorial for developers ready to move beyond the basics and into professional-grade engine development. Learn more: www.khronos.org/blog/new-vul... #vulkan #tutorial #programming #gpu #gameengine
We are excited to share that the session videos and presentation slides from Vulkanised 2026 are now available online! All files linked on the event page: vulkan.org/events/vulka... Huge thanks to all the speakers, organizers, sponsors, and contributors! #Vulkan #API #Graphics #Developer #GPU
In this blog, Vulkan Strategy Officer, Tobias Hector, explains how the new extension fundamentally changes how Vulkan applications interact with descriptors. The working group is looking for feedback before making it part of the core specification. Learn more: khr.io/1n5 #vulkan #gpu #programming

Newly released VK_EXT_present_timing extension combines two fundamental features: -The ability to receive timing feedback about previous presentation requests -The ability to explicitly specify a target presentation time for each request Learn more: khr.io/1m8 #vulkan
The Vulkanised 2026 program has been released! The 2026 program includes keynote presentations & technical talks spanning a wide range of topics that matter to everyone using Vulkan Explore the program and register today! vulkan.org/events/vulka... #vulkan #api #programming #gpu #raytracing
This Sunday is the deadline for submissions to Vulkanised 2026. Submit your title and short abstract today! Vulkanised 2026 submissions: vulkan.org/events/vulka... #vulkan #vulkanised #GPU #API
We are excited for next week's SIGGRAPH in Vancouver, Canada! Come see our Birds of a Feather (BOF) session, panels, Forging Forward with Vulkan. Don’t miss your chance to connect with us and the wider developer community. www.khronos.org/events/siggr... #SIGGRAPH2025 #vulkan #api
Today, with the release of version 1.4.321 of the #Vulkan specification, Vulkan Video is once again being expanded for encoding operations with the introduction of the Encode Intra-refresh extension—the second advanced feature extension for encoding. khr.io/1l7
Synchronization in Vulkan has been a frustrating challenge for many developers. So, in order to simplify, we present the VK_KHR_unified_image_layouts extension which aims to eliminate the need for most layout transitions entirely. Learn more: khr.io/1ky #vulkan #synchronization #API
New Vulkan Video Decode VP9 extension! With the release of version 1.4.317 of the Vulkan specification, this set of extensions is being expanded with the introduction of VP9 decoding. khr.io/1j2 #vulkan #vulkanVideo #video
This new sample demonstrates one of the functionalities of VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state3, allowing dynamic change sampling without the need to swap pipelines. github.com/KhronosGroup...
Vulkanised 2025 kicks off tomorrow! This sold-out event is the premiere Vulkan event of the year, and we are super excited to bring you an incredible slate of talks & panels in Cambridge. We especially want to thank our incredible sponsors!
This new sample demonstrates how to use the VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering_local_read extension in conjunction with the VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering extension. This combination can replace core render and subpasses. github.com/KhronosGroup...
Vulkan Chair, Ralph Potter, hosted a wonderful Vulkan Birds of a Feather at SIGGRAPH Asia. The slides and video are available on the event page: www.khronos.org/events/siggr...
Vulkan 1.4 integrates and mandates support for many proven features into its core specification, expanding the functionality that is consistently available to developers, greatly simplifying application development and deployment across multiple platforms. Learn more: khr.io/vulkan14
