This project is a cross-platform graphics and compute framework that provides a unified, hardware-agnostic abstraction layer for rendering and parallel processing. It enables developers to build high-performance applications that execute consistently across diverse operating systems and hardware backends, including Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX. By mapping high-level graphics commands to native APIs, it serves as a portable foundation for both real-time 3D rendering and general-purpose GPU computing.
The framework distinguishes itself through a robust architecture that supports both native desktop execution and web-based deployment. It utilizes a command-buffer-based execution model and a sophisticated shader translation pipeline to ensure consistent behavior across different graphics hardware. Furthermore, it includes a dedicated WebAssembly targeting layer, allowing the same graphics code to run within browser environments using standard web-based graphics APIs.
Beyond its core rendering capabilities, the project provides comprehensive tools for managing the entire graphics lifecycle. This includes advanced memory management, asynchronous resource synchronization, and flexible pipeline configuration. It also offers extensive support for complex visual techniques, such as mesh shading, high dynamic range rendering, and multi-view content generation, alongside diagnostic utilities for performance monitoring and shader compilation caching.
The project is implemented in Rust and provides a stable, well-documented interface for integrating hardware-accelerated graphics into external applications.
