12## Introduction
13
14Vulkan is an Explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs actually work. By design, minimal error checking is done inside
15a Vulkan driver. Applications have full control and responsibility for correct operation. Any errors in
16how Vulkan is used can result in a crash. This project provides Vulkan validation layers that can be enabled
17to assist development by enabling developers to verify their applications correct use of the Vulkan API.
18
19Vulkan supports multiple GPUs and multiple global contexts (VkInstance). The ICD loader is necessary to
20support multiple GPUs and VkInstance-level Vulkan commands.  Additionally, the loader manages inserting
21Vulkan layer libraries such as validation layers between the application and the ICD.
22
23The following components are available in this repository:
24- [Vulkan header files](include/vulkan/)
25- [*ICD Loader*](loader/)
26- [*Validation Layers*](layers/)
27- [*Mock ICD*](icd/)
28- [*Demos*](demos/)
29- [*Tests*](tests/)
