In this course students learn the basics of using the Vulkan graphics and compute API. Vulkan is a new API by the Khronos group, also known for OpenGL, that provides a better abstraction of modern graphics cards, as well as a new interface that results in better performance and less surprising driver behavior when compared to existing APIs like OpenGL. In addition, Vulkan has the advantage of being fully cross-platform compatible and allows you to develop for Windows, Linux and Android at the same time.
