Vulkan 1.3.291 Published With VK_AMD_anti_lag, AMD Anti Lag Extension

([Vulkan] 5 Hours Ago VK_AMD_anti_lag)


Vulkan 1.3.291 was published this morning and with this specification update comes one prominent new extension: VK_AMD_anti_lag.

Alongside the usual assortment of fixes/clarifications to the Vulkan specification, Vulkan 1.3.291 brings VK_AMD_anti_lag as AMD's Vulkan extension for Anti Lag. AMD Radeon ANti Lag is their technology to help reduce latency while gaming. Anti Lag to this point has been focused on Microsoft DirectX 12, 11, and 9, but now it's coming to the Vulkan world.

The VK_AMD_anti_lag extension specification explains of the Vulkan Anti Lag support:

"This extension automatically paces the CPU to make sure it does not get too far ahead of the GPU, reducing the latency between inputs received and updates on the screen.

Additionally, Anti-Lag+ offers applications the ability to inform the driver when input processing begins, in order to align the timing of display updates, enabling even lower latency between receiving input and displaying on the screen."

The initial version of this extension is now out with the [1]Vulkan 1.3.291 publishing.

Management: How many feet do mice have?
Reply: Mice have four feet.
M: Elaborate!
R: Mice have five appendages, and four of them are feet.
M: No discussion of fifth appendage!
R: Mice have five appendages; four of them are feet; one is a tail.
M: What? Feet with no legs?
R: Mice have four legs, four feet, and one tail per unit-mouse.
M: Confusing -- is that a total of 9 appendages?
R: Mice have four leg-foot assemblies and one tail assembly per body.
M: Does not fully discuss the issue!
R: Each mouse comes equipped with four legs and a tail. Each leg
is equipped with a foot at the end opposite the body; the tail
is not equipped with a foot.
M: Descriptive? Yes. Forceful NO!
R: Allotment of appendages for mice will be: Four foot-leg assemblies,
one tail. Deviation from this policy is not permitted as it would
constitute misapportionment of scarce appendage assets.
M: Too authoritarian; stifles creativity!
R: Mice have four feet; each foot is attached to a small leg joined
integrally with the overall mouse structural sub-system. Also
attached to the mouse sub-system is a thin tail, non-functional and
ornamental in nature.
M: Too verbose/scientific. Answer the question!
R: Mice have four feet.
