Hacker News with Generative AI: Vulkan

Zig and GPUs (alichraghi.github.io)
GPU programming used to mean wrangling C++ compilers, bloated SDKs, and vendor-specific toolchains. That’s changing. You can now write GPU code in modern languages like Rust and Zig with fewer layers. This post walks through the current state of Zig’s GPU backends and how they stack up across Vulkan, OpenCL, and native ISAs.

C Compiler to SPIR-V (github.com/heroseh)
HCC is a C compiler that allows you to compile your C codebase (with limitations) to SPIR-V for the Vulkan graphics API. This means you can share struct's, enum's and functions between your CPU & GPU code. HCC targets the future of GPU programming so is designed around features such as bindless resources and scalar alignment. This makes it easier to interop with the GPU and focus on writing shader code without writing your own shader build system.
