Vulkan is an explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs
|
|
|
|
|
actually work. As such, Vulkan supports systems that have multiple
|
|
|
|
|
GPUs, each running with a different driver, or ICD (Installable Client
|
|
|
|
|
Driver). Vulkan also supports multiple global contexts (instances, in
|
|
|
|
|
Vulkan terminology). The ICD loader is a library that is placed
|
|
|
|
|
between a Vulkan application and any number of Vulkan drivers, in
|
|
|
|
|
order to support multiple drivers and the instance-level functionality
|
|
|
|
|
that works across these drivers. Additionally, the loader manages
|
|
|
|
|
inserting Vulkan layer libraries, such as validation layers, between
|
|
|
|
|
an application and the drivers.
