29 <p>Vulkan is a low-overhead, cross-platform API for high-performance 3D
30 graphics. Like OpenGL ES, Vulkan provides tools for creating high-quality,
31 real-time graphics in applications. Vulkan advantages include reductions in CPU

36 implementation; for details on Vulkan architecture, advantages, API, and other
37 resources, see <a href="{@docRoot}devices/graphics/arch-vulkan.html">Vulkan
40 <p>To implement Vulkan, a device:</p>
42 <li>Must include the Vulkan Loader (provided by Android) in the build.</li>
43 <li>Must include a Vulkan driver (provided by SoCs such as GPU IHVs) that

56 <p>The primary interface between Vulkan applications and a device's Vulkan
57 driver is the Vulkan loader, which is part of Android Open Source Project (AOSP)
58 (<code>platform/frameworks/native/vulkan</code>) and installed at
59 <code>/system/lib[64]/libvulkan.so</code>. The loader provides the core Vulkan
