Description

Earlier this year, we substantially reworked the render pass abstraction used by the PanVK driver. Previously, it was based on what Alyssa had written for the OpenGL driver which was designed around an immediate-mode API. With Vulkan, we have more information and can do better. In this talk, Faith will talk about the over-all design and philosphy of the new abstraction and how it's helped us get massive speed-ups in certain MSAA benchmarks.
