Re: Future direction of the Mesa Vulkan runtime (or "should we build a new gallium?")

Gallium looks like it was just a copy of DX10, and likely many things were known from DX10 in advance before anything started. Vulkanium doesn't have anything to draw inspiration from. It's a completely unexplored idea. AMD's PAL is the same idea as Gallium. It's used to implement Vulkan, DX,

Re: Future direction of the Mesa Vulkan runtime (or "should we build a new gallium?")

I'll agree with Jose about Vulkan being a low-level abstraction, and to me the "opt-in" way seems like a much more balanced approach to achieving our goals — not only balanced between the goals themselves (code amount and time to implement aren't our only criteria to optimize), but also across

Re: Future direction of the Mesa Vulkan runtime (or "should we build a new gallium?")

I don't know much about the current Vulkan driver internals to have or provide an informed opinion on the path forward, but I'd like to share my backwards looking perspective. Looking back, Gallium was two things effectively: (1) an abstraction layer, that's watertight (as in upper layers
