Ricardo García ☛ Ricardo Garcia: Device-Generated Commands at Vulkanised 2025
A month ago I attended Vulkanised 2025 in Cambridge, UK, to present a talk about Device-Generated Commands in Vulkan. The event was organized by Khronos and took place in the Arm Cambridge office. The talk I presented was similar to the one from XDC 2024, but instead of being a lightning 5-minutes talk, I had 25-30 minutes to present and I could expand the contents to contain proper explanations of almost all major DGC concepts that appear in the spec.
I attended the event together with my Igalia colleagues Lucas Fryzek and Stéphane Cerveau, who presented about lavapipe and Vulkan Video, respectively. We had a fun time in Cambridge and I can sincerely recommend attending the event to any Vulkan enthusiasts out there.
