- vulkan extension that allows progress markers to be inserted into the Vulkan command stream
- these can be used to detect the range of draw commands that have caused a GPU device error
- a short overview of how it is used in X-Plane
- a brief overview of the rasterization process
- look at the logical rendering pipeline model
- presents the different components that are used to implement pipeline in hardware
