Tools to aid in Vulkan development including useful layers, trace and replay, Ilo Intel sample driver, and tests

Vulkan Ecosystem Components

Version 1.0, January 25, 2016

This project provides vktrace capture/replay tool, Intel Ilo sample driver and other layer tools and driver tests.

Introduction

Branches within this repository include the Vulkan loader, validation layers, header files, and associated tests. These pieces are mirrored from this Github repository: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers These pieces are required to enable this repository to be built standalone; that is without having to clone the Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers repository.

The following components are available in this repository over and above what is mirrored from Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers repository

• Api_dump, screenshot and example layers (layers/)
• Intel sample driver and null driver (icd/)
• tests for the Intel Ilo sample driver (tests/)
• vktrace and vkreplay, API capture and replay (vktrace/)

How to Build and Run

BUILDVT.md includes directions for building all the components, running the tests and running the demo applications.

Information on how to enable the various layers is in layers/README.md.

License

This work is intended to be released as open source under a MIT-style license once the Vulkan specification is public. Until that time, this work is covered by the Khronos NDA governing the details of the VK API.
