The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Baldurs Gate 3 wont work with Vulkan
If this works then it might actually be a game bug and the game I guess passes invalid shaders when the cache exists... but it seems to work fine on windows vulkan drivers. You could try to run the game with https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers

Help a noob out: compute shader synchronization/scheduling
For debugging these kinds of issues, I would recommend enabling the synchronization validation layer.

Validation Layers crash Vulkan (on Android)
I would use the debugger to produce a stack trace and look into the validation layers source code. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers Then I would either file an issue or make a PR there.

Managing bindless descriptors in Vulkan
Currently validation layers might generate false-positive errors: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/3450

Validation layers sporadically cause extended dynamic states to crash.
A'rightey... I was able to reproduce this issue with Sascha Willems basic triangle example, so I am fairly certain, that this is a bug. I've opened an issue.

Need help using Vulkan-ValidationLayers as CMake FetchContent
I am really at loss here, I found this issue but it doesn't really help me (I am starting to doubt it's even possible, maybe I'm a clown and doing it wrong...)
- Anyway to get QueueSubmit to wait on Timeline Semaphores?
-
Synchronization layers being triggered by a subpass dependency
Can you post a reproduction case at https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues so we can take a look at it.

Emacs Is Not Enough
Which is why a GPU debugger with frame tracing is so much better option.
By the way, there are actually ways to expose a print function on shader code, provided there is driver support.

Is here a way to turn VkResult into C string?
Huh yeah. Looking through the header the function you want works with c but there are others using c++ features. The reason given is understandable.

Zed Decoded: Linux When? – Zed Blog
Wgpu seems very very well loved & supported, is one of the most successful comings together of the graphics world in ages. I'd love to hear some actual critique of it, hear what people think are shortcomings, because it feels to an outsider like this is the fantasy land, that we're living in the better place now. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu

Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?
And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.

If they used https://wgpu.rs/ they would get directx and metal for free (:

Show HN: WebGPU Particles Simulation
IIRC it was delayed multiple times. I think the first intent to ship from chrome was before 100 but they kept pushing it off. Firefox still does not support it. There are projects like wgpu[0] that wrap provide a higher level API and I have used some projects using it with no issues. WFIW I didn't see any issue with OP's demo either.
