# The graphics/vulkan-loader port

## vulkan-loader-1.3.290.0 – Vulkan ICD loader

## Description

    Vulkan is an explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs
    actually work.  As such, Vulkan supports systems that have multiple
    GPUs, each running with a different driver, or ICD (Installable Client
    Driver).  Vulkan also supports multiple global contexts (instances, in
    Vulkan terminology).  The ICD loader is a library that is placed between
    a Vulkan application and any number of Vulkan drivers, in order to
    support multiple drivers and the instance-level functionality that
    works across these drivers.  Additionally, the loader manages inserting
    Vulkan layer libraries, such as validation layers, between an
    application and the drivers.
