The SPIR™ Working Group has developed two new SPIR-V extensions (and corresponding Vulkan® extensions) to provide shader authors with more guarantees about the execution model of shaders. These extensions formalize behavior many authors have previously taken for granted, so that they can now be relied upon across the ecosystem.
