Vulkan virgl

This is the main repository for the Vulkan-virglrenderer experiment. It will clone 3 repositories:

• virglrenderer (vulkan-wip branch)
• mesa (virgl-vulkan branch)
• vulkan-compute

Virglrenderer

Virglrenderer is a lib desinged to bring 3D acceleration to VirtIO-gpu. Initialy, this project was designed with OpenGL in mind. The goal of this experiment is to redesign it to support both Vulkan and OpenGL.

Vulkan compute

A sample vulkan compute application.

If you want to build it in debug, you will need LunarG Vulkan SDK.

There is also a dockerfile available to build it using a valid Fedora setup

docker-fedora/dockerfile

How to use

If you have an Intel GPU, and any issue on your current distro, I recommand using a docker container. One is ready in the fedora-docker folder. I tested it on my machine, with a simple HD-Graphics. Maybe it will work on your machine. Otherwise, you can:

./run-demo.sh

There is also some options available

$ ./run-demo.sh -help

  --url-app=    : override the URL for the vulkan-compute project
  -c        : disable repo cloning step
  -p        : disable repo pull step
  -b        : disable building step, implies -r
  -r        : disable running step
  -f        : remove the build folder first (force)
