See https://github.com/google/clspv for an OpenCL implementation on Vulkan Compute. There are plenty of quirks involved because the two standards use different varieties of SPIR-V ("kernels" vs. "shaders") and provide different guarantees (Vulkan Compute doesn't care much about numerical accuracy). The Mesa folks are also looking into this as part of their RustiCL (a modern OpenCL implementation) and Zink (implementing OpenGL and perhaps OpenCL itself on Vulkan) projects.
