Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Google's First Tensor Processing Unit: Architecture
Vulcan is a driver-level API. It competes with DirectX and OpenGL.
CUDA is a language you write kernels. It competes with OpenAI's Triton language.
Here's what CUDA looks like: https://github.com/tspeterkim/flash-attention-minimal/blob/m...
This is what Triton looks like: https://triton-lang.org/main/getting-started/tutorials/06-fu...
By contrast Vulcan looks like this: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/blob/main/sam...
(It's true to some extent that maybe you could use Vulcan shaders to write deep learning kernels, maybe? I'm not aware of anyone doing it though)

Question regarding descriptor set binding invalidation/disturbing over pipeline boundaries
Hi, i'm looking into descriptor indexing and was looking at the Vulkan-Samples repo. I finally thought i understood how the set binding invalidation works (like a stack?). In the code below both the non_uniform_indexing pipeline and the update_after_bind pipeline use the immutable sampler descriptor in their fragment shader. But since the descriptor set = 0 is rebound, won't the immutable sampler in set = 1 from the "non_uniform_indexing" pipeline be "disturbed" and have to be rebound?

Mesh Shader Sample
In this new sample, we see how to incorporate the Vulkan extension VK_EXT_mesh_shader and introduce per primitive culling in a mesh shader. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/tree/main/samples/extensions/mesh_shader_culling

Looking for resources / mentor
Also beginner here, I think you can learn other's codes to get a better understanding of the API by learning how others can abstract these concept into higher level. They're many great projects out there like Google's pbr renderer filament https://github.com/google/filament, AMD's gltf sample https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/glTFSample and also as many suggested, the Sascha Willems's repos https://github.com/SaschaWillems and the official sample https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples

Recommendations on how to start a small Vulkan project
Another way I saw some projects start was by using example base classes (either Sascha Willems' implementations or the framework used by Khronos Samples).
- Can anyone give valid reasons why game engines are any easier to use than just programming with something like Vulkan?

Immediate Mode GUI Programming

Black Triangles
It's fun to see the evolution in e.g. these examples of image loading for Dear Imgui:
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Image-Loading-and-Disp...
DirectX9 will even load the image for you, DirectX11 okay we get a few more structures to fill out, DirectX12 is where it goes off the rails and we are filling out a bunch of UNKNOWN DONT_CARE JUST_DO_IT. Then of course Vulkan is the one that gets the big fat "this probably won't actually work for you" warning.
I understand whats happening, but you know sometimes I just want to display a fucking image.

Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface with minimal dependencies
ImGui is engine/GPU agnostic
Themeing isn't a just a retained mode thing, you can do wonders with immediate UIs, even thought (dear)ImGui doesn't provide much, you can still do wonders: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/707#issuecomment-362...

Where do I start to learn C++ for a game development
Bonus: If you want to make desktop app with UI, then this is another great C++ library and it's also simple to learn as well. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.

GUI library for fast prototyping
AFAIK the Rust equivalent to C++'s Dear ImGui is egui.

Stretching myself thin with Dear ImGui projects
They use a Dear ImGui, a C++ GUI library.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
Aside from bugs and driver issues, Wayland has some unfortunate design limitations. For example, Dear ImGui multi-viewports don't work because "Wayland doesn't let application read or write windows positions."
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Multi-Viewports
This is a feature available on Windows, macOS, and of course X11. Making choices like this means desktop Linux becomes even more of a weird island that nobody wants to support.
