Vulkan

Vulkan is a new low-level Graphics API, intended to replace OpenGL.

Float Point Exception

Similar to OpenGL apps, the float-point exceptions should be turned off. This can be achieved by adding the following code prior to calling Vulkan API:

SetExceptionMask([exInvalidOp, exDenormalized, exPrecision]);

SetExceptionMask function is declared in Math unit
