Version 2.03 of the Vulkan Hardware Capability Viewer is now available for all platforms (Windows, Linux, Android).
This version has been updated to Vulkan Headers 1.1.129, adding support for new extensions introduced with this header:
VK_KHR_performance_query VK_KHR_separate_depth_stencil_layouts VK_KHR_buffer_device_address Aside from new support for these new extensions, this release also includes some small bugfixes related to surface extensions and adds a mapping for VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU. This is of interest for those that are using software Vulkan implementations like Swiftshader or gfxportability.

This version has been updated to Vulkan Headers 1.1.123, adding support for all new extensions introduced with this header:
VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types The main reason for this update is another one though, as it also fixes a bug for extension properties with array values not being properly saved to json and thus not being stored in the database.

Device based views for the Vulkan hardware database
Posted on April 13, 2019

I have just pushed the first big fundamental update to the Vulkan hardware database since it went live in february 2016. With more than 5,000 reports uploaded it already contains lots of valuable data, but I felt that the visualization was lacking.
When creating the Vulkan hardware database, I took the same approach as with the OpenGL and OpenGL ES database, making the web front-end more or less as pretty view of the database setup.
