See CONTRIBUTING.txt for important contributing requirements. To learn more about how Vulkan loading works, read the official documentation here. Alternatively, you can set the VK_ICD_FILENAMES environment variable to the path to vk_swiftshader_icd.json file that is generated under the build directory (e.g.\SwiftShader\build\Windows\vk_swiftshader_icd.json). SwiftShader's ICD is named libvk_swiftshader.dll, but it can be renamed to vulkan-1.dll to be loaded directly by the application.
SWIFT SHADER 3.0. DRIVER
This 'loader' library then redirects API calls to the actual Installable Client Driver (ICD). In general, Vulkan applications look for a shared library named vulkan-1.dll on Windows ( vulkan-1.so on Linux). On Linux, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or -rpath linker option can be used to direct applications to search for shared libraries in the indicated directory first.
On Windows, most applications can be made to use SwiftShader's DLLs by placing them in the same folder as the executable. The SwiftShader libraries act as drop-in replacements for graphics drivers. Open the CMake Targets View in the Solution Explorer and select the vk_swiftshader project to build it. To build the Vulkan ICD library, use Visual Studio 2019 to open the project folder and wait for it to run CMake. Tip: Set the CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL environment variable to control the level of parallelism.
