Project mention: Why do I need to load VMA vulkan functions dynamically? | /r/vulkan | 2023-06-21

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.

Project mention: Boehm Garbage Collector | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-21

I have a library which has an extremely slow free, around 2m for large files, because of unnaturally scattered allocation patterns, but this old conservative GC didn't help at all. It was about 40% slower with libgc. mimalloc was a bit better. Best would be a properly fast GC, like mps https://github.com/Ravenbrook/mps, but this would be too much work.

Great learning project, I'm glad the author is having fun.

If they're interested in bolting on a GC, it couldn't hurt to look at MMtk. (https://www.mmtk.io/) Some high quality collection algorithms, written to be pluggable to various VMs, and written in Rust.
