vkCompViz: Universal C++ Library for GPU-Based Experiments

Vulkan Compute Vizualization (vkCompViz) is a Vulkan library for GPU-accelerated data processing. The main purpose are computer-graphics-related GPU-accelerated operations on images or other data. This framework can be used for a fast experimental prototyping of scientific research ideas. Using GPU frameworks requires a lot of boilerplate code and API calls. This library simplifies the process so that the user only specifies the input and output data, writes the shader code and runs the pipeline. The presented examples can also be edited to quickly create an GPU-based experiment without a time-consuming GPU API documentation study.
