#  KosmicKrisp Achieves Vulkan 1.4 Conformance on Apple Silicon 

  October 1st at 6:22pm

 KosmicKrisp, LunarG’s Mesa Vulkan driver for Apple silicon, has passed the Vulkan 1.4 Conformance Test Suite (CTS) and is now a Khronos-conformant Vulkan 1.4 implementation. The Vulkan 1.4-conformant version of KosmicKrisp is available for download via the Vulkan SDK.KosmicKrisp was already a Khronos-conformant Vulkan 1.3 product. Vulkan 1.4 conformance is the next step in advancing support for Vulkan on macOS. In addition to reaching 1.4 conformance, substantial support for non-core extensions and features has been added, including Tesselation, Robustness2, and Multi-draw. KosmicKrisp is implemented as a Mesa driver, shipped in the LunarG Vulkan SDK, and exercised in LunarG’s CI. Performance of KosmicKrisp has tripled since it achieved Vulkan 1.3 conformance, and optimization work continues to be a high priority.
