It has always been a little strange how the de facto Volcano SDK runs through LunarG and not through Khronos Group, which might cause confusion for those who are not familiar with the enormous staff potential of LunarG. But it is slowly becoming clearer why LunarG is handing over its Volcano SDK to Khronos Group.

Khronos Vulkan SDK

LunarG has donated its desktop SDK and packaging scripts to the Khronos Vulcan working group. This allows for better collaboration and a unified SDK for the Vulkan graphics/calculation API with less fragmentation.

The announcement was made this morning on the LunarG blog and has already been eagerly received by the Khronos group about the acceptance of this Vulkan SDK.

The SDK download is currently still available at vulkan.lunarg.com
