Version 1.0, January 25, 2016

This project provides vktrace capture/replay tool, Intel Ilo sample driver and other layer tools and driver tests.

Branches within this repository include the Vulkan loader, validation layers, header files, and associated tests. These pieces are mirrored from this Github repository: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers These pieces are required to enable this repository to be built standalone; that is without having to clone the Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers repository.

The following components are available in this repository over and above what is mirrored from Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers repository

• Api_dump, screenshot and example layers (layers/)
• Intel sample driver and null driver (icd/)
• tests for the Intel Ilo sample driver (tests/)
• vktrace and vkreplay, API capture and replay (vktrace/)

BUILDVT.md includes directions for building all the components, running the tests and running the demo applications.

Information on how to enable the various layers is in layers/README.md.

This work is intended to be released as open source under a MIT-style license once the Vulkan specification is public. Until that time, this work is covered by the Khronos NDA governing the details of the VK API.

While this project is being developed by LunarG, Inc; there are many other companies and individuals making this possible: Valve Software, funding project development; Intel Corporation, providing full hardware specifications and valuable technical feedback; AMD, providing VK spec editor contributions; ARM, contributing a Chairman for this working group within Khronos; Nvidia, providing an initial co-editor for the spec; Qualcomm for picking up the co-editor's chair; and Khronos, for providing hosting within GitHub.
