Vulkan 1.4.350 Released With Three New Extensions

([Vulkan] 3 Hours Ago Vulkan 1.4.350)


Vulkan 1.4.350 released earlier today as the newest routine spec update. Beyond the usual minor fixes/clarifications, Vulkan 1.4.350 tacks on three more extensions.

The new extensions to Vulkan 1.4.350 include:

VK_KHR_maintenance11 - This latest Vulkan maintenance extension is for tacking on minor features that don't warrant new extensions on their own. Similar to prior KHR_maintenance releases, they are just small changes. Mike Blumenkrantz and Hans-Kristian Arntzen, both of Valve's Linux / Steam Play efforts, were involved in these additions as were NVIDIA and Collabora. Among the maintenance changes are some small enhancements for helping with Direct3D compatibility.

VK_ARM_data_graph_neural_accelerator_statistics - This Arm vendor extension adds support for reading data graph execution statistics for Arm neural accelerators.

VK_SEC_throttle_hint - The VK_SEC_throttle_hint is a Samsung vendor extension to convey throttle hints to the device. The intent with this extension is for communicating information from layered API implementations like Google's ANGLE to proprietary system schedulers.

More details on these Vulkan 1.4.350 changes can be found via [1]GitHub .
