    Phoronix: Vulkan For Planes & Cars - Khronos Starting Vulkan Safety Critical WG

    It's not too surprising given the trajectory of Vulkan and past comments by The Khronos Group, but today at Embedded World Conference they announced the formation of the "Vulkan Safety Critical" working group as they seek to define a Vulkan standard for environments like automobiles and aircraft wanting to tap advanced, high-performance graphics and compute...

    Apple and google want to go through with making yet another api for the web ( despite their reasoning having been proven false ) , but would this make web vulkan easier from a technical point of view ? would there be extra security potocols that could be reused ?

      stop trying to be smarter than bunch of people working at google and apple.

        paupav A1 criticism right there , I'm thus convinced that ( among other things ) is need impractical to run Vulkan via compability layers on plataforms that dont support it natively ; and that developers need a more abstracted api because a low level one is too unwieldy ( despite it allowing zero cost abstractions such as rust's vulkano , which can be replicated and improved upon in other languages and with upcoming features , even in c++ )

          Interesting but why not improve the quality of standard Vulkan? Currently it seems like Vulkan gets a new feature every other week, this hardly inspires confidence in quality.

            Well, the drivers work great; what exactly do you want?

              This is great. I wonder if Mesa will ever have a SC profile implementation in it; I figure it would be an interesting way for a vendor to bring developers into the fold and give their customers access to a more diverse and better prepared hiring pool.

                Android and Apple devices don't last long enough for legacy devices to still be used in significant quantities.
                XP is dead or if it isn't, then fuck whoever is still using it.

                What else there is? Embedded crap? Do they even run HTML5?

                and that developers need a more abstracted api because a low level one is too unwieldy
                Developers that need a more abstracted API can use a framework like they do for anything else (it's not like you use raw javascript or raw java or raw whatever, you are ALWAYS using a framework)

                Developers that need a lower level API can't use it if the only thing you provide is abstracted shit.

                  They don't need to inspire confidence in people that didn't understand what vendor extensions are.
