Surely there will be consolidation and back-porting of codes to make the linux vulcan drivers more useful to the FOSS communities, I hope. I'm just not sure when this will happen and I would not be able to offer guidance, hence, I have filed no bugs on Vulcan. I'm not really up on the latest of what's working either. My main issue it to use the GPU resources of all video cards, with compilers and on clusters, at some point, in the future http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=search&q=Vulkan hth, James
