NVK HAS LANDED
Faith Ekstrand is an engineering fellow at Collabora.
“NVK, the new, fully open source Vulkan driver for Nvidia GPUs, has finally landed in the main Mesa branch. Included as an experimental driver in the 23.3 release of Mesa, it’s the culmination of over a year of work by myself as well as Karol Herbst and Dave Airlie at Red Hat, and about a dozen community contributors. Special thanks also goes to Danilo Krummrich at Red Hat, who has been hard at work building Nouveau kernel support for the new memory binding and execution API required by NVK.
