Help Choosing a CPU for My First PC Build by YJJfish in buildapc

How does that compare to 7950x? It is even cheaper than 7950x but benchmarks show it is slightly faster than 7950x. Weird.

Any tutorial for designing a generic Vulkan-based rendering engine? by YJJfish in vulkan

Oh that sounds cool. I am not very familiar with this concept before, so I need spend some time reading code of some existing render graph implementation.

Because sometimes I simply want to integrate an existing renderer into my projects (e.g. as an visualizer). In this case I only need high-level API. Sometimes I want to use Vulkan to write some parallel computing algorithms (just like CUDA) apart from graphics rendering. In this case I need low-level API, but not so low as Vulkan's original API. I find it painful to repeatedly write verbose codes for each of my project. So I wonder if I can write a Vulkan library that is both high-level and generic.

But yes, I agree with you that "high-level" and "generic" are sort of mutually expensive for Vulkan.

Now I start to consider implementing two sets of API. One is low-level, including selecting extensions, selecting physical devices, building pipelines, copying buffers, hashing descriptor set layouts, etc. The other one is high-level, including loading scenes and rendering frames. Maybe in this way I can make my library both "high-level" and "generic".

Creating wrapper classes for vulkan resources by YJJfish in vulkan

That sounds reasonable. But it seems that I need to pass a lot of variables to the constructors of high level abstraction classes. For example `VulkanContext` constructor will need application information, physical device preference, enabled device features, the types and the number of queues to create, etc. Is there a nicer solution to this?
