mastodon 4.7.3Software development team lead in the automotive area at day, open source developer and Khronos contributor by night. Mostly Vulkan related things. Maintainer of the GPU hardware databases at http://gpuinfo.org
My "How to Vulkan in 2026" @vulkan@fosstodon.org #Vulkan guide is now publicly available at https://www.howtovulkan.com/
I still consider it a preview, though I'm mostly happy with it and only plan on changing minor things and incorporating some feedback.
With the increasing amount of data and requests, performance has become a real issue for my @vulkan@fosstodon.org #Vulkan Hardware database at https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/.
So I just released a substantial update to it, that reworked some of the slower and often used queries like extension coverage listings (which now is mostly instant). With this change, performance should improve a lot and with that also site availability.

@vulkan@fosstodon.org #Vulkan Hardware Capability viewer 4.11 released. This version adds support for several new extensions, incl. VK_EXT_descriptor_heap.
