    Phoronix: CLVK Is Piping OpenCL On Top Of Vulkan

    The concept has been talked about before and there has been some previous work in this direction while "CLVK" is a newly-established effort for getting OpenCL running on top of Vulkan drivers...

        DXVK, CLVK. Good. Now can we do a GLVK and get rid of 80% of mesa code?

          There is https://github.com/g-truc/glo but it's dead by the look of it.

          Angle could pickup OpenGL over Vulkan given that it's adding OpenGL ES over Vulkan.

          Edit: There's also https://think-silicon.com/2018/08/01/1138-2-4/ but its OpenGL ES 2.5 only.

          So Vulkan appears great for making drivers with.

            When systemd does it, it's bad. But when Vulkan does it, all is well

              You almost got the name right: https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n...re-Over-Vulkan

              (but it is core profile only)

                That's because systemd isn't written in Rust.

                  We really need a CUVK -> CUDA on Vulkan. A lot of software depend on CUDA and this is quite a monopoly for Nvidia like Windows is for Microsoft. So we need a kind of Wine for CUDA. AMD has HIP to convert CUDA-code or/and write for both CUDA and ROCm. But, in fact, it is limited to Nvidia and AMD and most devs are too lazy to use it. Even it is limited.

                    no. at least if we want fast gl
