QuickStart Guide to Vulkan Compute offers a compelling take on Vulkan Compute, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Compute Shaders is excellent, I found the sections on Parallel Processing less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Compute Shaders that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Parallel Computing more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for GPU Programming will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on High Performance Computing, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved QuickStart Guide to Vulkan Compute! It completely changed my perspective on Vulkan Compute. At first I wasn't sure about GPU Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains High Performance Computing is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in High Performance Computing. What I appreciated most was how the book made Compute Shaders feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
