Writing modern Vulkan applications looks very different now than when it came out 10 years ago.. just found out about this tutorial by @SaschaWillems2 and it makes a great job on summarizing how to do Vulkan nowadays:

To enable our developers to estimate a builds performance before deploying it on the target hardware, the Snowdrop team has created Snowcap, a GPU profiling tool driven by machine learning.
The team sat down with @AIandGames to explain it in-depth:

FGED3 adds five new chapters to the series:
11 • Curves
12 • Motion Operators
13 • Models and Animation
14 • Advanced Shading
15 • Special Effects
I'm shooting for a SIGGRAPH 2026 release.
(The cover is not necessarily final.)
This free CUDA course is worth more than most CS degrees.
12 hours that separate library users from GPU engineers.
I watched senior devs struggle with concepts taught in hour 3.
What makes it different:
No hand-waving. No "just use this library."
You build an MLP trainer FOUR times: → PyTorch (the easy way) → NumPy (getting harder) → C (now we're cooking) → CUDA (chef's kiss)
Same model. Same dataset. Four implementations.
By the end, you understand WHY PyTorch is fast.
The curriculum nobody else teaches:
➡️ GPU architecture (not just "it's parallel")
➡️ Writing kernels that don't suck
➡️ Profiling at kernel AND system level
➡️ When cuBLAS helps (and when it doesn't)
➡️ CUDA vs Triton (the comparison you need)
➡️ PyTorch extensions (actually useful ones)
Real talk:
➡️ After this course, you'll read PyTorch source code and understand it.
➡️ You'll optimize models other engineers can't touch.
➡️ You'll be the person teams hire to make things fast.
12 hours. Free. No excuses.
Who's starting this weekend?
(I will put the details in the comments.)

We just published "The Road to 60 fps in The Witcher 4 UE5 Tech Demo", where you can see how we got 300 moving characters and 100k fully modeled trees and scrubs running at 60fps on a base PS5.
