Vulkan是一個低开销、跨平台的二维、三维图形与计算的應用程式接口（API），最早由科納斯組織在2015年游戏开发者大会（GDC）上發表。与OpenGL类似，Vulkan針對全平台即時3D图形程式（如電子遊戲和交互媒体）而設計，并提供高效能与更均衡的CPU与GPU占用，這也是Direct3D 12和AMD的Mantle的目標。与Direct3D（12版之前）和OpenGL的其他主要区别是，Vulkan是一个底层API，而且能执行并行任务。除此之外，Vulkan还能更好地分配多个CPU核心的使用。 科納斯最先把Vulkan API稱為「次世代OpenGL行動」（next generation OpenGL initiative）或「glNext」，但在正式宣佈Vulkan之後這些名字就沒有再使用了。Vulkan基于Mantle构建，AMD将其Mantle API捐赠给科納斯組織，给予该组织开发底层API的基础，使其像OpenGL一样成为行业标准。
