Vulkan is the next step in the evolution of graphics APIs. Developed by [Khronos](https://www.khronos.org), current maintainers of [OpenGL](https://www.opengl.org). It aims at reducing driver complexity and giving application developers finer control over memory allocations and code execution on GPUs and parallel computing devices.
