ROCm has compiled GPU code ahead of time (AOT), once per target architecture, since its first release. CPU software shifted to runtime just-in-time (JIT) compilation in the 1990s — Java HotSpot, V8, LuaJIT, .NET RyuJIT, PyPy — once the matr…
The Khronos Group today announced that the KHR_interactivity extension for glTF 2.0 has been submitted for ratification. As interactive 3D content becomes central to a growing range of markets, KHR_interactivity lets creators build portable…

Earlier this year Vulkan Video encode was disabled on newer generations of Intel graphics hardware due to insufficient testing with the Intel ANV open-source driver. That impacted Gen12.5 graphics and newer - basically Alchemist and anythin…
Firefox is adding hardware-accelerated Vulkan Video decoding, saving Nvidia users on Linux the hassle of manually configuring the nvidia-vaapi-driver package. The change will be included in Firefox 153, out July 21, but it will not be enabl…
Quick links to each of the Khronos Standards homepage. Skip to the News section. FFmpeg has introduces Vulkan-accelerated APV encoding to go alongside the earlier development of their Vulkan-accelerated decoding for the APV video format. Th…
In this blog from Collabora, Colloabora introduces their work with environmental nonprofit SOMAR to build an open source XR experience that immerses users in the underwater soundscape of Portugal's Algarve, using real acoustic recordings to…
The Khronos Vulkan SC Working Group, in collaboration with RasterGrid, has released the Vulkan SC 1.0.21 SDK, a unified installer for Linux and Windows that combines the Vulkan SC Loader, emulation driver stack, validation layers, device si…
We're proud to welcome Meta to the Khronos Group Board of Directors! Meta has upgraded their membership from Contributor to Promoter — our highest membership tier — bringing with it a seat on the Board and a deeper commitment to shaping the…
In this contributed blog, we explore how FFmpeg uses Vulkan Compute to seamlessly accelerate encoding and decoding of even professional-grade video on consumer GPUs — unlocking GPU compute parallelism at scale, without specialized hardware.…
Minecraft: Java Edition is hard at work getting Vibrant Visuals ready. They have been exploring refactoring and looking at ways to modernize their rendering code. Following this work, they are now preparing to make a change to the underlyin…
