Researchers have developed VkSplat, a novel training pipeline for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) that utilizes Vulkan compute for enhanced performance and broader compatibility. This new approach offers a significant speed increase of 3.3x and a 33% reduction in VRAM usage compared to traditional CUDA and PyTorch methods. VkSplat is notable for being the first fully Vulkan-based 3DGS training pipeline to achieve state-of-the-art results across different GPU vendors. AI
