      1 # Vulkan Ecosystem Components
      2 *Version 1.0, January 25, 2016*
      3 
      4 This project provides Khronos offical ICD loader and validation layers for Vulkan developers on Windows and Linux.
      5 
      6 ## Introduction
      7 
      8 Vulkan is an Explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs actually work. No (or very little) validation
      9 or error checking is done inside a Vulkan driver. Applications have full control and responsibility. Any errors in
     10 how Vulkan is used often result in a crash. This project provides standard validation layers that can be enabled to ease development by 
     11 helping developers verify their applications correctly use the Vulkan API.
     12 
     13 Vulkan supports multiple GPUs and multiple global contexts (VkInstance). The ICD loader is necessary to support multiple GPUs  and the VkInstance level Vulkan commands.  Additionally, the loader manages inserting Vulkan layer libraries,
     14 including validation layers between the application and the ICD.
     15 
     16 The following components are available in this repository:
     17 - Vulkan header files
     18 - [*ICD Loader*](loader/)
     19 - [*Validation Layers*](layers/)
     20 - Demos and tests for the loader and validation layers
     21 
     22 
     23 ## How to Build and Run
     24 
     25 [BUILD.md](BUILD.md)
     26 includes directions for building all the components, running the validation tests and running the demo applications.
     27 
     28 Information on how to enable the various Validation layers is in
     29 [layers/README.md](layers/README.md).
     30 
     31 Architecture and interface information for the loader is in
     32 [loader/LoaderAndLayerInterface.md](loader/LoaderAndLayerInterface.md).
