| # KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Tools |
| |
| This project provides Vulkan tools and utilities that can assist development by enabling developers to verify their applications correct use of the Vulkan API. |
| |
| ## Intro |
| |
| The following components are available in this repository: |
| |
| - [*Mock ICD*](icd/) |
| - [*Vkcube and Vkcube++ Demo*](cube/) |
| - [*VulkanInfo*](vulkaninfo/) |
| - [*Windows Runtime*](windows-runtime-installer/) |

| ## How to Build and Run |
| |
| [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) includes directions for building all components as well as running the vkcube demo applications. |
| |
| ## Version Tagging Scheme |
| |
| Updates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: `v<`_`version`_`>` (e.g., `v1.3.266`). |
| |
| **Note**: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the `vulkan-sdk-<`_`version`_`>.<`_`patch`_`>` format (e.g., `vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0`). |
| |
| This scheme was adopted following the `1.3.266` Vulkan specification release. |
