The existence of personal computers equipped with more than one GPU is becoming increasingly common. However, usually only one graphics card is used at a time during the execution of a real-time 3D program, with the other card remaining idle during the process. Major graphics card manufacturers such as NVIDIA and AMD have implemented solutions to this problem in the past, but these rely on systems with graphics cards of the same brand or model, or require proprietary technologies that connect the GPUs together. With the popularization of modern rendering APIs, such as Vulkan and DirectX12, the implementation of multi-GPU rendering systems independent of specific hardware technologies becomes feasible. This thesis aims to explore existing techniques for multi-GPU rendering and to analyze and extend an existing multi-GPU solution using Vulkan.
