Vulkan: optimize image memory barriers Each image was tracking its current layout, but not the pipeline stage it was used. Additionally, the barrier access masks were inferred from the layout. This incurred two inefficiencies: - The src pipeline stage mask often included all stages, causing unnecessarily heavy barriers. - The access masks included all possible accesses by a layout, which in some cases was overkill, like VK_ACCESS_MEMORY_WRITE_BIT for VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL (which will eventually used for compute shader output). This change instead creates an enum where each element represents the layout, the stage and access masks when transitioning into the layout and the stage and access masks when transitioning out of that layout. The image will instead track a value of this enum (instead of VkImageLayout), which allows it to create the layout transition barriers as tight as possible, since it includes all the necessary information.

The goal of ANGLE is to allow users of multiple operating systems to seamlessly run WebGL and other OpenGL ES content by translating OpenGL ES API calls to one of the hardware-supported APIs available for that platform. ANGLE currently provides translation from OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 to desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D 9, and Direct3D 11. Support for translation from OpenGL ES to Vulkan is underway, and future plans include compute shader support (ES 3.1) and MacOS support.

ANGLE v1.0.772 was certified compliant by passing the ES 2.0.3 conformance tests in October 2011. ANGLE also provides an implementation of the EGL 1.4 specification.
ANGLE is used as the default WebGL backend for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on Windows platforms. Chrome uses ANGLE for all graphics rendering on Windows, including the accelerated Canvas2D implementation and the Native Client sandbox environment.
Portions of the ANGLE shader compiler are used as a shader validator and translator by WebGL implementations across multiple platforms. It is used on Mac OS X, Linux, and in mobile variants of the browsers. Having one shader validator helps to ensure that a consistent set of GLSL ES shaders are accepted across browsers and platforms. The shader translator can be used to translate shaders to other shading languages, and to optionally apply shader modifications to work around bugs or quirks in the native graphics drivers. The translator targets Desktop GLSL, Direct3D HLSL, and even ESSL for native GLES2 platforms.
