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.
If you care about conceptual clarity and transfer, the codes tie-ins are useful prompts for further reading. (Side note: if you like WebGPU Programming Guide: Interactive Graphics & Compute Programming with WebGPU & WGSL (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the vulkan arguments land.
