Working on my slides for XDC. My talk is entitled "How to write a Vulkan driver in 2022" and I'll be talking about the common Vulkan runtime we've been building in Mesa.
If you want to watch, it'll be at 10:45 CDT on Tuesday, Oct 4:

Stay tuned: @discomfitor will be delivering the #XDC2022 Zink presentation of a lifetime during Tuesday's sessions. Where will the driver go from here? Will games ever be playable without shader compile stuttering? #Vulkan #OpenSource #OpenGL #Zink indico.freedesktop.org/event…
