With the impending launch of Intel Arc GPUs with new ray-tracing technology approaching soon, the company has introduced further open-source "ANV" Vulkan support for the Linux operating system. In the latest driver update, this new support is filed under "VK_KHR_ray_query."

Intel has been preparing the vital driver infrastructure for handling Vulkan ray-tracing on Linux for quite a long time. In December, they blended SPIR-V and NIR ray queries bits arrangements for VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline and is now moving toward the beginning of uncovering VK_KHR_ray_query capacities.
