LunarG 3D graphics engineer adds GLSL & SPIR-V as inputs to Compiler Explorer!
Innovation Flash! Spencer Fricke, a 3D graphics engineer at LunarG, has added GLSL & SPIR-V as input options to the popular Compiler Explorer (a.k.a. Godbolt) tool. To see what we mean, checkout these examples – GLSL – https://godbolt.org/z/s14W5Mx6M spirv-opt – https://godbolt.org/z/r1j1GnMer spirv-val – https://godbolt.org/z/ePbTaYK3r Stay tuned for more valuable innovations from LunarG 3D graphics engineers!

LunarG Releases Vulkan SDK 1.3.296.0 for Windows, Linux, & macOS
Now Available – Vulkan SDK 1.3.296.0 Released 08 Oct 2024 Today LunarG released a new SDK for Windows, Linux, & macOS that supports Vulkan API revision 1.3.296. The highlights below are not a replacement for the important and detailed information in the release notes! New features in SDK 1.3.296.0 > A beta version of slang – an alternative shader language and compiler. > Synchronization validation for the VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore extension. > The Vulkan headers now include the following extensions: VK_EXT_depth_clamp_control VK_EXT_device_generated_commands VK_KHR_compute_shader_derivatives VK_KHR_pipeline_binary VK_NV_command_buffer_inheritance VK_AMD_anti_lag > The Android Validation Layer binaries are released in the Validation Layers repository. > The Vulkan Configurator (vkconfig) has been updated to improve quality and stability. > Improved validation coverage. Windows Highlights > The Windows ARM Vulkan SDK has been released with the following components added (it is no longer considered “beta”): DXC (the Microsoft DirectX Shader Compiler) Visual Studio 2022 templates > Windows 11 is now officially supported. > Reminder – In 2025 the behavior of the Windows SDK will change and the Vulkan Loader will be updated as part of the SDK installation. macOS Highlights > MoltenVK has been updated to version 1.2.11. See the release notes for details. > A notarized .zip file is available which contains the SDK installer instead of a .DMG. > Please see the release notes for an issue with the SDK Maintenance tool. Linux Highlights > Ubuntu packages are not releasing a new version of the DirectXShaderCompiler on Ubuntu 24.04 for this SDK release due to an unidentified issue. Thank You! LunarG would like to thank the many contributors to the Vulkan Ecosystem that help make the SDKs possible!
