  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • AMDVLK

    AMD Open Source Driver For Vulkan

  • Except the vast majority of code for the open source driver still comes from AMD employees. Let's look at the AMDVLK code shall we? https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/graphs/contributors

  • llpc

    LLVM-Based Pipeline Compiler

  • That's the wrong repo for AMDVLK. You have to look at these https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/llpc https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/xgl https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/pal And this is also just the user space vulkan driver that nobody uses, the real driver you should look at is radv, which was initially written by red hat and Bas Nieuwenhuizen, and is maintained by Bas (afaiu as a hobby) and a team of Valve contractors. And then there's radeonsi, which is now mostly maintained by AMD, but has seen a lot of third party contributors over the years, and amdgpu + the display stack, which is mostly worked on by AMD.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
