Vulkan 1.0.35 Released, Includes VK_NVX_device_generated_commands
Vulkan 1.0.35 was released on Friday as the latest stable documentation update to the Vulkan high-performance graphics API. Aside from correcting some issues with the documentation, it also incorporates the VK_NVX_device_generated_commands extension documentation.
VK_NVX_device_generated_commands is the NVIDIA-developed extension for allowing the GPU to generate rendering commands on its own. This extension is currently experimental (as denoted by the "NVX" prefix rather than "NV") and further described in the aforelinked article. It should be an important addition to Vulkan once its been refined and agreed upon -- and implemented -- by multiple vendors. With Vulkan 1.0.35, all of the NVX_device_generated_commands documentation is bundled up.
Vulkan 1.0.35 also has changes around the synchronization terminology, there are now valid usage statements to each of the WSI extension sections, and other clarifications and improvements. More details via this GitHub commit.
