Me too, plus making OpenCL unnecessary by completely absorving it's capabilities in an uniform API.

CUDA needs to die, OpenCL is a mess.

How far is the Vulkan support for h264 and hevc? Does FFMPEG support it along AMD/Intel/Nvidia drivers?

It's probably just a matter of time until Rusticl can run on top of Zink, bringing fast, open OpenCL to pretty much all platforms.

It still sounds like science fiction, unfortunately. I hope it happens eventually.
