Ekstrand: Introducing NVK

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/910319/

Jason Ekstrand announces
a new Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware
on the Collabora blog. It
seems to be off to a good start, but there is some work yet to do:

Normally, I would have submitted the merge request long ago. There
are far more alpha-quality drivers already in Mesa. The problem is
that we really need a new kernel uAPI to support Vulkan properly
and I don’t want to be stuck supporting the current nouveau uAPI
for the next five years.
