New blog post: PanVK Extension Sprint - Mesa 26.1 🚀

18 Vulkan extensions landed in PanVK for Mesa 26.1 - the open-source Vulkan driver for Arm Mali GPUs. Covering the Proton stack essentials (DXVK, vkd3d-proton), DDK feature parity, and closing gaps on mesamatrix.

From VK_EXT_conditional_rendering to VK_EXT_nested_command_buffer - each one pulls PanVK closer to "throw a DXVK game at it and it just works."

PanVK Extension Sprint: Mesa 26.1

Last week marks the Mesa 26.1 branch point, and I wanted to take a moment to look back at what happened on the PanVK front. Spoiler: it was a busy one. The landscape PanVK - the Vulkan driver for Arm Mali GPUs (Valhall and newer) - is a collaborative effort. Collabora has been doing incredible work on the compiler backend and the foundational infrastructure. Arm themselves are actively contributing to the open source Mali GPU stack as well, reviewing patches and pushing driver quality forward. On the Igalia side, my focus this cycle was Vulkan extension coverage. The kind of work that doesn’t make for flashy demos but is absolutely critical for real-world application compatibility - especially for things like DXVK.

Busy and great first day at the #igalia booth yesterday, with lots of visitors and interesting discussions about our projects and demos. We also got some great feedback on @WPEWebKit from some of our happy users who are already trying out the next version. Come and visit us at booth 4-443! #ew26

Some pictures from @marga's talk yesterday, on using best practices when working with yocto to build embedded systems. Nice talk and nice discussion afterward during the Q&A panel. #igalia #ew26

On my way to Nuremberg to attend the Embedded World Conference and to present my talk "Web Engines for Embedded Devices: An Introduction to WPE WebKit" in the "Software & Systems Engineering" track on Thursday. I'll also be around in our booth at 4-443 (hall 4) with some cool demos to show, so feel free to come around and say hi!

New blog post: My first Vulkan extension!

As part of my work at @Igalia, I implemented VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced for Mesa -
first for Honeykrisp (Apple Silicon) and then for lavapipe.

My first Vulkan extension

After years of working on etnaviv - a Gallium/OpenGL driver for Vivante GPUs - I’ve been wanting to get into Vulkan. As part of my work at Igalia, the goal was to bring VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced to lavapipe. But rather than going straight there, I started with Honeykrisp - the Vulkan driver for Apple Silicon - as a first target: a real hardware driver to validate the implementation against before wiring it up in a software renderer. My first Vulkan extension, and my first real contribution to Honeykrisp.
