This project provides Vulkan SC tools and utilities that can assist development by enabling developers to verify their applications correct use of the Vulkan SC API.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This repository is to be used with the Vulkan SC API and should not be confused with the similar repository that exists for the Vulkan API (see https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Tools). While it is possible to build the Vulkan version from this repository, this repository contains a forked version of the upstream code and may not be up-to-date with the latest changes in the upstream repository.
The following components are available in this repository:
In addition, the following Vulkan SC specific components are available in this repository:
Please see the CONTRIBUTING.md file in this repository for more details. Please see the GOVERNANCE.md file in this repository for repository management details.
BUILD.md includes directions for building all components as well as running the vkcube demo applications.
Updates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: v<version> (e.g., v1.3.266).
Note: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the vulkan-sdk-<version>.<patch> format (e.g., vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0).
This scheme was adopted following the 1.3.266 Vulkan specification release.
For Vulkan SC, updates to a new API version will be tagged using the following format vksc<version>.<patch> (e.g., vksc1.0.12).
