While Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient makes several valuable points about compute, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of graphics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to graphics. That said, the sections on compute are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient is a comprehensive exploration of graphics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 7 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of compute is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
