Vulkan

Vulkan is a modern graphics and compute API that provides developers with low-level control over graphics hardware, enabling high-performance rendering for games and applications. It allows software to communicate directly with the GPU, optimizing how images and visuals are generated and processed. Unlike older APIs, Vulkan offers better multicore CPU utilization and reduces overhead, resulting in more efficient and detailed graphics. It's designed for developers who need precise management of hardware resources, leading to smoother, more realistic visuals in gaming, virtual reality, and professional applications.
