Vulkan Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning Vulkan by Graham Seller

Description: Vulkan Programming Guide by Graham Sellers, John Kessenich Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Vulkan™ Programming Guide introduces powerful 3D development techniques for fields ranging from video games to medical imaging, and state-of-the-art approaches to solving challenging scientific compute problems. Publisher Description The next generation of the OpenGL specification, Vulkan, has been redesigned from the ground up, giving applications direct control over GPU acceleration for unprecedented performance and predictability. Vulkan™ Programming Guide is the essential, authoritative reference to this new standard for experienced graphics programmers in all Vulkan environments. Vulkan API lead Graham Sellers (with contributions from language lead John Kessenich) presents example-rich introductions to the portable Vulkan API and the new SPIR-V shading language. The author introduces Vulkan, its goals, and the key concepts framing its API, and presents a complex rendering system that demonstrates both Vulkans uniqueness and its exceptional power. Youll find authoritative coverage of topics ranging from drawing to memory, and threading to compute shaders. The author especially shows how to handle tasks such as synchronisation, scheduling, and memory management that are now the developers responsibility. Vulkan™ Programming Guide introduces powerful 3D development techniques for fields ranging from video games to medical imaging, and state-of-the-art approaches to solving challenging scientific compute problems. Whether youre upgrading from OpenGL or moving to open-standard graphics APIs for the first time, this guide will help you get the results and performance youre looking for. Coverage includes Extensively tested code examples to demonstrate Vulkans capabilities and show how it differs from OpenGL Expert guidance on getting started and working with Vulkans new memory system Thorough discussion of queues, commands, moving data, and presentation Full explanations of the SPIR-V binary shading language and compute/graphics pipelines Detailed discussions of drawing commands, geometry and fragment processing, synchronisation primitives, and reading Vulkan data into applications A complete case study application: deferred rendering using complex multi-pass architecture and multiple processing queues Appendixes presenting Vulkan functions and SPIR-V opcodes, as well as a complete Vulkan glossary Author Biography Graham Sellers, API lead on the Vulkan specification, is AMD Software Architect and Engineering Fellow. Sellers represents AMD at the OpenGL ARB, has actively contributed to the core Vulkan and OpenGL specs and extensions, and holds several graphics and image processing patents. He coauthored OpenGL® Programming Guide, Ninth Edition. Contributing author John Kessenich is language lead on the Vulkan specification and is Senior Compiler Architect at LunarG Inc. He been active in OpenGL, GLSL, Vulkan, and SPIR-V development in the OpenGL ARB and in Khronos since 1999. Kessenich created SPIR-V and is its specification editor. As GLSL specification editor, he creates shader compiler tools and translators for improving portability.
