At GDC 2024, AMD announced that FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3.1), AMD’s cutting-edge open upscaling technology, will be released later this year with Vulkan support. With Vulkan support, AMD opens up the possibilities for Linux-native games seeing support.

Perfect Corp., the leading AI and AR beauty and fashion technology provider and developer of ‘Beautiful AI’ solutions, announced a significant enhancement to its AI-powered Jewelry VTO. The latest update to Perfect Corp.’s system now supports the upload of glTF 2.0 (Graphics Library Transmission Format) files, streamlining 3D file upload and formatting processes for brand partners in the jewelry and watch industries. The update simplifies 3D model creation by allowing brands to upload wireframe details, texture maps and environmental lighting information of products in one smooth workflow.

Greg Fischer, Senior Engineer at LunarG, released a new white paper describing functionality in spriv-tools and glslang which allows the user to do dead code elimination in SPIR-V shaders across stages. This functionality also can be used to trim trailing dead components from aggregate input and output variables in the shaders. Many drivers do these cross-stage optimizations automatically under the covers, but some drivers may not. These optimizations can have a significant impact on a shader’s performance and size.

Khronos Group President Neil Trevett was honored with the 2023 Lifetime Achievement at The Polys - WebXR Awards. Cesium’s Patrick Cozzi presented the award stating, “Neil’s impact on the open 3D ecosystem is felt in practically every pixel that is rendered. His consensus-driven leadership at NVIDIA, The Khronos Group, and the Metaverse Standards Forum has facilitated cross-industry collaborations leading to so many open standards, including glTF, Vulkan, WebGL, OpenCL, OpenGL, and OpenGL ES. He masterfully knowns when to roll up his sleeves and when to create space for others. He listens to all perspectives and patiently seeks alignment - and translates vocabulary - across the industry.”

Congratulations Neil! We couldn’t be more proud.

NVK, the open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware in Mesa, is now ready for prime time. The new merge request gets rid of the non-conformant implementation warnings and changes the Meson configuration option for NVK from nouveau-experimental to just nouveau. This will act as a signal to distros that it’s now time to start shipping NVK to users. NVK will be part of Mesa 24.1 and you should expect to see it in either the spring or fall release of your favorite Linux distro. NVK is now a conformant Vulkan 1.3 implementation on Turing (RTX 2000 and GTX 1600 series), Ampere (RTX 3000 series), and Ada (RTX 4000 series) GPUs.

To better support our Chinese members, the Khronos Group is happy to announce a new Khronos WeChat channel focusing on our API technologies. We have provided instructions and a QR code to allow for easy access.
