Kule minyaka emibili edlule besikhona ngaphambi kokufika kwezinye izihloko ezisezingeni eliphakeme ku-Android. Ngisho nasezindudlweni ze-Android ezigxile ekudlaleni, sibe nenhlanhla ngokwanele yokudlala imidlalo ethile ePortal noma omunye waleyo midlalo yevidiyo engabonakala ithathwa ngqo komunye wabaduduzi abadume kakhulu, yize kuma-Smartphones nakumathebulethi ukusetshenziswa okujwayelekile, it isenayo leyo lace ukuze singakwazi ukukhuluma ngombukiso ocacile ovela esikrinini.
intabamlilo Ukubheja okusha kweGoogle futhi okulandela okumakwe nge-Metal ye-iOS 8 ngonyaka odlule. I-API entsha yokunikezela nge-3D ezosivumela ukuthi sibhekane nemidwebo engcono futhi, ngakho-ke, imidlalo yevidiyo engcono. I-Google iyazi ukuthi okunye ukusetshenziswa okukhulu okunikezwa i-smartphone namuhla okwenzelwe imidlalo yevidiyo futhi kufanele ubheke enye yama-smartphones omunye wabazala bethu abancane ukubona lokhu. Ngakho-ke iGoogle ifuna ukunika amageyimu we-Android ukusonta ngokufika kweVulkan.
Ukusebenza kwezithombe
Futhi ngeke sithole noma yini entsha ukuthi ukuze sibe nemidwebo emihle sidinga i-hardware ne-software enhle esivumela ukuthi siyisebenzise ngokunenzuzo. Ku-PC sine-DirectX enikeza konke okusemandleni kwi-hardware eyethulwe yi-Nvidia ne-ATI njalo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ukwandisa ikhwalithi ebonakalayo yemidlalo ethile yevidiyo.
Lokhu kufanele kudluliselwe ku-Android kuye sikwazi ukunikeza izigcawu ezinhle zemifanekiso nokuthi sikwazi ukufinyelela kuzo zonke izinhlobo zemiphumela yokuqhafaza ngezinkulungwane zezinhlayiya ezenza ezazo noma lokho kukhanyisa okusithokozisayo ngombono we-panoramic wesigodi ngenkathi sikhipha inkemba phambi kwesitha esisemsebenzini esifuna ukusikhumula amakhanda.
IVulkan inayo inhloso yokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-CPU, okusho ukuthi imiyalo yokuqhafaza ingadluliswa isuka ezinhlelweni zokusebenza iye kwi-GPU yefoni ngokushesha okukhulu, okwandisa amazinga wohlaka futhi inikeze onjiniyela inkululeko yokunikeza izigcawu eziyinkimbinkimbi ngokwengeziwe.
Kusuka ku-OpenGL ES
IVulkan ivela kuKronos Group, ngokunembile labo ababephethe ukusilethela i-Open GL ES ezinsukwini zabo, ngakho-ke ipulatifomu yayo ivula ama-horizons amasha konjiniyela be-Android abafuna ukwanelisa izidingo zethu zemidlalo emihle.
Okwamanje ukufika kukaVulkan ngeke kusho ukuthi ukuphela kwe-OpenGL ES ku-Android, futhi womabili ama-API azosekelwa ngokuzayo, noma inhloso yeGoogle ukukhipha inguqulo yokugcina ngokushesha okukhulu kunalokho ebesingakulindela. Ngalokhu ubeka wonke amandla futhi usebenza kanzima ekwethulweni kwawo, njengoba besho kubhulogi yakhe.
Ngamafuphi, sizoba nemidlalo yevidiyo engcono lapho bekhipha isakhiwo somphakathi futhi onjiniyela bafaka izandla zabo enhlama ukushicilela imidlalo yevidiyo yangonyaka ozayo ehlukaniswa ngokuthuthukisa imidwebo.
Uma ungunjiniyela wegeyimu yevidiyo ungama nge www.khronos.org/vulkan ukuze sinake ukukhishwa kanye nezindaba mayelana nale API entsha esethemba ukuthi izosilethela ama-horizons amasha okuzijabulisa nemidlalo yevidiyo.
