We learned more about Vulkan at Valve's glNext presentation
by from Techreport on (#4F4J)
Scott is on the ground at GDC this week, and he spent this morning learning more about the Vulkan graphics API at Valve's glNext presentation. Most notably, Scott learned that Vulkan is indeed an offshoot of AMD's Mantle API. But that's not all:
Vukan completely exposes that GPU is a separate processor, runs asynchronously to the CPU.

...Intel/Linux driver for Vulkan will be open-sourced. Vulkan supported across the board on Steam machines.
