Problem statement:

Can Vulkan evolve to enable HPC use cases so I can run the full range of compute solutions (including OpenCL, SYCL, etc.) across all Vulkan platforms?

Use Case Example(s):

I need to target multiple end-user platforms with my HPC compute application which is written with C++ kernel languages (OpenCL, SYCL) in order to deploy on both DT and mobile platforms. There are currently no solutions for this beyond more limited programming modes (HLSL, GLSL, etc.)

(Optional) Suggested Solution(s) (via opening an MR on vulkan-docs repo and creating a Proposal Document) :

Reduce delta between SPIR-V compute and graphics capabilities so Vulkan scan support what’s needed for HPC use cases
