=== 计划中的功能 ===
科纳斯在[[SIGGRAPH]] 2016上宣布，Vulkan将提供类似于Direct3D 12的多卡互联功能。<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/3101843/software-games/vulkan-next-will-bring-better-support-for-vr-and-multiple-gpus.html|title=Vulkan Next will bring better support for VR and multiple GPUs|newspaper=PCWorld|accessdate=2017-03-17|language=en|archive-date=2018-12-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206190153/https://www.pcworld.com/article/3101843/software-games/vulkan-next-will-bring-better-support-for-vr-and-multiple-gpus.html}}</ref>通过Vulkan，不同型号的显卡也能协同工作，而无需[[NVIDIA SLI]]或[[AMD CrossFire|AMD Crossfire]]的支持。Vulkan多卡互联功能允许API在多个不同的显卡之间智能分配负载，例如，CPU上的集成显卡与高端独立显卡协同工作，能够略微提升显示性能。<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/10067/ashes-of-the-singularity-revisited-beta/4|title=Ashes of the Singularity Revisited: A Beta Look at DirectX 12 & Asynchronous Shading|last=Smith|first=Daniel Williams, Ryan|accessdate=2017-03-17|archive-date=2022-04-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220422152924/https://www.anandtech.com/show/10067/ashes-of-the-singularity-revisited-beta/4}}</ref>

在2017年5月发行[[OpenCL]] 2.2之时，Khronos Group宣布OpenCL将尽可能的汇合于Vulkan，以确使OpenCL软件在这两种API上灵活部署<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pcper.com/reviews/General-Tech/Breaking-OpenCL-Merging-Roadmap-Vulkan|title=Breaking: OpenCL Merging Roadmap into Vulkan &#124; PC Perspective|website=www.pcper.com|access-date=May 17, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171101062642/https://www.pcper.com/reviews/General-Tech/Breaking-OpenCL-Merging-Roadmap-Vulkan|archive-date=November 1, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=siggraph-2018-khr&num=2|title=SIGGRAPH 2018: OpenCL-Next Taking Shape, Vulkan Continues Evolving – Phoronix|website=www.phoronix.com|access-date=2024-10-13|archive-date=2020-10-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028152042/https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=siggraph-2018-khr&num=2|dead-url=no}}</ref>。这已经由Adobe的Premiere Rush展示出来，它使用clspv开源编译器<ref name=":4">{{Citation|title=Clspv is a prototype compiler for a subset of OpenCL C to Vulkan compute shaders: google/clspv|date=2019-08-17|url=https://github.com/google/clspv|access-date=2019-08-20|archive-date=2020-11-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201128054700/https://github.com/google/clspv|dead-url=no}}</ref>，编译了大量OpenCL C内核代码，从而在部署于Android的Vulkan运行时系统上运行<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/developers/library/2019-siggraph/Vulkan-01-Update-SIGGRAPH-Jul19.pdf|title=Vulkan Update SIGGRAPH 2019|access-date=2024-10-13|archive-date=2019-08-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190820222456/https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/developers/library/2019-siggraph/Vulkan-01-Update-SIGGRAPH-Jul19.pdf|dead-url=no}}</ref>。
