Vulkan Compute: High-Performance Compute Programming with Vulkan and Compute Shaders (Paperback)
If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: programming, compute, shader, simulation presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
I’ve already recommended it twice. The simulation chapter alone is worth the price.
