qua-vis-services

Requirements

• libvulkan-dev
• libasio-dev
• GLSL Reference Compiler

Compiling

The project can be compiled on both Linux using CMake and the respective build system such as make

1. Clone the project using the recursive tag: git clone --recursive https://github.com/Kelinago/qua-vis-services
2. Build the project using CMake and Make: cmake . && make
3. After running helen or Luci, run the service using bin/service

Using validation layers

• Download the VulkanSDK
• Temporary: Extract the files and copy them into a system directory

    sudo cp -r VulkanSDK/*/x86_64 /usr/local/x86_64
  

• Run test files with

    VK_LAYER_PATH=/usr/local/x86_64/etc/explicit_layer.d/ bin/testvulkan
  

Running on a descrete nvidia gpu with nvidia-prime

I use wayland and integrated intel GPU on my ubuntu laptop. To make nvidia GPU compute something in such a setting, I need to do couple extra steps in bash before running the service:

sudo modprobe nvidia
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nvidia-384:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset DISPLAY
unset XDG_SESSION_TYPE

The commands above set up an environment to run vulkan using an nvidia GPU headless (without a display environment).
