Vulkan で使われる用語の対応表

このセクションでは、さまざまな概念に対する Vulkan 用語と他の API の用語とのマッピングを提供します。Vulkan 用語におけるアルファベット順で並んでいます。もし、あなたが知っている API で使われている概念の Vulkan に相当するものを探しているのであれば、このリストから知っている用語を見つけ、次に Vulkan Specificationを検索して、対応する Vulkan 用語を探すのがいいでしょう。

Note	すべてが1対1で完全に一致するわけではありません。このセクションの目的は、仕様書のどこから見るべきかという大まかなアイデアを与えることです。
