filament
Filament is a real-time physically based rendering engine for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, macOS, and WebGL2
The filament rendering library from Google has a full PBR pipeline implementation that you can hack on and see where theory becomes practice. It also provides an excellent in-depth discussion of the library implementation as well as why particular choices were made in the library.

3d-game-shaders-for-beginners
🎮 A step-by-step guide to implementing SSAO, depth of field, lighting, normal mapping, and more for your 3D game.
-
Scout APM
Scout APM - Leading-edge performance monitoring starting at $39/month. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
An alternative you did not mention, which might also be useful to you, are these https://github.com/floooh/sokol and https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx . These are graphics API abstraction layers. They work the similarly to SDL in that they aim to abstract the API details of the graphics APIs into a single front facing API, allowing you to do graphics work without caring (too much) about the underlying backends. This could be a good option for you too if you want to go the multiplatform way.

MNN
MNN is a blazing fast, lightweight deep learning framework, battle-tested by business-critical use cases in Alibaba
Project mention: Newbie having error code of cannot build selected target abi x86 no suitable splits configured | reddit.com/r/AndroidStudio | 2021-04-12I found a solution on GitHub check your app's build.gradle, defaultConfig section - you need to add x86 to your ndk abiFilters ndk.abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a','arm64-v8a', 'x86' GitHub Hope it will help. You have to find that file and edit it as given here

Renderdoc works by inserting itself as a Vulkan layer, which means it can change the output of functions if it so chooses. As you can see in the RenderDoc version of vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices it changes how devices are returned, and this likely is the reason the order changes.
-
It seems https://github.com/g-truc/glm also supports SIMD (at least if used / configured correctly).

The-Forge
The Forge Cross-Platform Rendering Framework PC Windows, Linux, Ray Tracing, macOS / iOS, Android, XBOX, PS4, PS5, Switch
Project mention: Are you a licensed developer for consoles? Want them to support Godot out of the box so you don't rely on a third party? Please let Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft that you would appreciate them financing this support. | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-06-18 -
Title says it all, can we use reshade in call of duty blops cold war without getting banned? Ive seen a few people who say that theyve used it without issue, but those are all older.

Project mention: Allocating multi-layered images with a huge amount of layers | reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2021-04-13
Alternatively, you could just use an existing allocator library, a popular choice is VMA: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/VulkanMemoryAllocator

From what I can tell, both glslang/shaderc and Microsoft's DirectXShaderCompiler can compile HLSL to SPIR-V code. Is there a consensus on which of these is the better compiler? (wrt to accuracy, optimisations, feature completeness, etc.)

LLGL
Low Level Graphics Library (LLGL) is a thin abstraction layer for the modern graphics APIs OpenGL, Direct3D, Vulkan, and Metal

Project mention: DirectX 11/12 Graphics Engine (WIP) | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2021-05-13
I've uploaded my graphics engine written in DirectX 11 on Github. Here is the link. I've tried to make implementations of all the features as straightforward as possible so they are all inside renderer in corresponding void Pass*() member function. This was inspired by approach seen in https://github.com/PanosK92/SpartanEngine. Hope it helps someone.

You can use vulkan in nodejs for that https://github.com/maierfelix/nvk

VkFFT supports convolution calculations - see samples 7, 8 and 9 in the VkFFT repository.

Project mention: I’m am an beginner when it comes to openGL, and am thinking about implementation of ray tracing in my engine, and came across compute and mesh shaders. I have a few questions regarding them, so could someone please help me with these? | reddit.com/r/opengl | 2020-12-27
NVIDIA has a couple of options for you to start learning hardware ray tracing. This requires you to use either Vulkan or Direct 3D 12, of which both are modern (i.e. low low level) APIs. In my view, you would be well-advised to budget significant amounts of time just to re-learn the traditional rasterization pipeline in Vulkan before thinking about raytracing. It took me quite a while to get up to speed on command buffers and synchronization and all the other ilk that OpenGL (mostly) doesn't ever expose. That said my colleague Neil Bickford has put together a tutorial for Vulkan raytrace extensions that does not assume prior Vulkan experience: https://github.com/nvpro-samples/vk_mini_path_tracer
