Vulkan Minimal Compute C++

This repository provides a quick reference and library to performing compute operations using Vulkan in C++.

Features

• Vulkan Compute Pipeline: Demonstrates setting up a compute pipeline with Vulkan.
• Shader Integration: Includes example compute shaders.
• CMake Build System: Utilizes CMake for project configuration and building.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Vulkan SDK: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home
• CMake: https://cmake.org/download/
• A C++ compiler supporting C++11 or later

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Mrezadwiprasetiawan/vulkan-minimal-compute-cpp.git
cd vulkan-minimal-compute-cpp

2. Configure the project with CMake:

cmake .

Usage

1. Build the quick project:

make quick

2. Build the library

make vkmincomp
