An SPV file may also be a SPIR-V module. It contains a shader used to give depth to 3D graphics. Graphics APIs like Vulkan, OpenCL, and OpenGL use SPV files to render 3D objects.
More Information
Standard Portable Intermediate Representation V (SPIR-V) is a binary intermediate language for graphical shaders and compute kernels. Khronos Group released SPIR-V in 2015, replacing the original version of SPIR.
Developers using SPIR-V save shader modules as SPV files. For example, developers can use Khronos Group's Glslang tool to convert .HLSL shaders into SPV files. These files contain a list of capabilities, global interfaces, entry points, and functions that determine how the shader affects an object's appearance.
How to open an SPV file
You can use Khronos Group SPIR-V Tools (multiplatform) to parse, disassemble, validate, and optimize SPV files.
