LunarG releases new Windows, Linux, and macOS SDKs for Vulkan header 1.2.170


The VK_KHR_synchronization2 extension brings extensive improvements to Vulkan queue submission, events, and pipeline barriers resulting in significant usability enhancements for developers. Read more about Synchronization2 in a Khronos blog published today.


Overview of New Features in the 1.2.170.0 SDK
Support for the following new extensions

       
  • VK_KHR_synchronization2
  • VK_KHR_workgroup_memory_explicit_layout
  • VK_KHR_zero_initialize_workgroup_memory
  • VK_NV_acquire_winrt_display
  • VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type
  • A new layer, called VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_synchronization2 has been included in this SDK. It is designed to be a transparent helper that provides an extension implementation if your device's driver doesn't have one yet.
