Description

The dawn of explicit APIs, and particularly the introduction of Vulkan®, transformed the way we interact with GPU hardware. Despite the steep learning curve, the success and fast evolution of the Vulkan API shows that there is room for this such a new programming model in the industry, and we expect this model to get even wider adoption in the API landscape going forward. The goal of our presentation is to provide a glimpse into the rationale behind and the benefits of an explicit API compared to the traditional ones that we are all too familiar with.
