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.

Why do I need to load VMA vulkan functions dynamically?
Hello - working on a Vulkan renderer and I ran into a topic I don't understand. I use the Vulkan Memory Allocator and upon updating my local targeted Vulkan SDK to 1.3.250 from 1.3.204, I receive exactly the same error as this user: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/VulkanMemoryAllocator/issues/280 Error: The procedure entry point vkGetDeviceBufferMemoryRequirements could not be located in the DLL.

Managing Vertex Buffers
For problem 1 I would recommend looking into Vulkan Memory Allocator: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/VulkanMemoryAllocator The general idea is to allocate large chunks of memory, then sub-allocate out of those when buffers are required. This is nice for several reasons: - Memory allocation can be slow and involve system calls. Sub-allocating does not require system calls - Your memory will be more cache-friendly as all your buffers will be relatively adjacent - There is a finite number of unique allocations you can have. Performing larger allocations keeps your usage lower

[Part 7] Update of my Vulkan renderer: LODs, Multiple different meshes, Memory Allocator, Render architecture and more
Integrated Vulkan Memory Allocator, making all GPU memory allocations much easier to work with.

Is it a good idea to use VMA for memory management for production?
Seems like it was initially added more than 2 years ago, they really should release more often :P
-
Vulkan 1.3 released
Use VMA, originally created by AMD, never worry about device memory and device memory alignment again.

Low bandwidth using memcpy
I am using VMA for memory allocation with the VMA_MEMORY_USAGE_GPU_TO_CPU usage flag. That means that the flags VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_VISIBLE_BIT and VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_CACHED_BIT are already set.

Deleting staging buffer after copying to image causes weird artifacts in texture mapping
Since it's a header-only lib, you could always try cloning the latest from [GitHub](https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/VulkanMemoryAllocator) and see if the problem continues with that version.

Allocating multi-layered images with a huge amount of layers
Alternatively, you could just use an existing allocator library, a popular choice is VMA: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/VulkanMemoryAllocator

Memory management doubts
Personally, I'd recommend (VMA)[https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/VulkanMemoryAllocator] if you don't want to deal with all of this yourself.

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.

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.

There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig?
There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig? wgpu.rs is an abstraction on top of Vulkan, Metal, DirectX, etc...
