Vulkan1.3 on the M1 in one month
5 Jun 2024 Finally, conformant Vulkan for the M1! The new “Honeykrisp” driver is the first conformant Vulkan® for Apple hardware on any operating system, implementing the full 1.3 spec without “portability” waivers. Honeykrisp is not yet released for end users.
Honeykrisp is not based on prior M1 Vulkan efforts, but rather Faith Ekstrand ’s open source NVK driver for NVIDIA GPUs. To that end, I’m building NVK with all the best practices we’ve developed for Vulkan drivers over the last 7.5 years and trying to keep the code-base clean and well-organized. Starting from NVK and our OpenGL 4.6 driver… can we write a driver passing the Vulkan 1.3 conformance test suite faster than the 30 day review period?
