Mesa developers have initiated work on "Shiva," a new framework designed for Vulkan drivers. This development is described by Phoronix as being "akin to Gallium3D but for Vulkan drivers rather than OpenGL." While it will be some time before the work comes to fruition, Shiva aims to facilitate more code sharing and improve the overall development experience for Mesa Vulkan drivers, similar to how Gallium3D streamlined OpenGL driver development.
