An interesting article about it: <a href="http://www.g-truc.net/post-0714.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.g-truc.net/post-0714.html</a><p>I wonder in general will Apple and MS support SPIR-V or they'll play nasty and not support it just to make life harder for everyone?<p>Also, will Apple push Metal to OS X, or they'll support Vulkan going forward? Their support for OpenGL was very much lagging behind.
So SPIR-V is completely unrelated to the previous attempt at a portable IR layer for compute kernels, named SPIR? This is crazy. Why is Khronos trying to be confusing?
