# sebbbi/NoGraphicsAPI

> An experimental Vulkan 1.4 implementation of the "No Graphics API" ideas: GPU pointers instead of buffers, application-owned descriptor heaps, hazard-based barriers. A thin low-level Vulkan wrapper for graphics programmers.

- Magnitude: 0.9 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 1,614 total · Not enough measurements today
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Build the examples on Vulkan 1.4 to study an API without descriptor sets or pipeline layouts
- Port shaders to Slang using 64-bit GPU pointers and descriptor heaps
- Evaluate hazard-based synchronization instead of resource state transitions

## Why it’s here

- There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
- The repository is 40 days old and already has 1,614 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
