Boilerplate (bp) abstraction library for Vulkan API, implemented in C++. Aims to reduce the amount of code needed to implement Vulkan based applications, while still being flexible.

This library was implemented as part of my master thesis in software development, "Multi-GPU Rendering with Vulkan API". A paper on the subject has been submitted to Norwegian Informatics Conference (NIK).

• bp is the core module containing the Vulkan abstractions.
• bpMulti is the module providing multi-GPU abstractions for the sort-first and sort-last approach (renderers for partial results, and compositors for combining the results).
• bpQt provides a Qt window that should be used as a render target by bp.
• bpScene provides a way to load meshes and materials, render them, and transform the position and orientation with a simple scene graph structure.
• bpView is a wrapper of GLFW to use a GLFW window as a render target.
