The Kazan Vulkan CPU/Software-Based Implementation Being Rewritten In Rust

[schmidtbag]

Considering Vulkan's reduced CPU overhead, I suspect this will have noticeably better performance than LLVMpipe (though, I'm sure it'll still be crappy).

Michael: think you'll try benchmarking this on some of your Epyc or dual-Xeon platforms? I suspect this could have some pretty interesting results.

Does that mean risc v based GPUs vulkan implementation Will be a c wrapper to a Rust version of the api ?

Phoronix: The Kazan Vulkan CPU/Software-Based Implementation Being Rewritten In Rust

Remember Kazan, the project originally known as Vulkan-CPU? That was the Google Summer of Code 2017 project to implement a CPU/software-based Vulkan driver. It had been dormant since GSoC 2017 ended, but now work on it has been restarted...
