C Specification

To create a VkSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV, call:

// Provided by VK_NV_external_sci_sync2
VkResult vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkSemaphoreSciSyncPoolCreateInfoNV*   pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV*                   pSemaphorePool);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that creates the semaphore pool.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkSemaphoreSciSyncPoolCreateInfoNV structure containing information about the semaphore SciSync pool being created.

  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

  • pSemaphorePool is a pointer to a handle in which the resulting semaphore pool object is returned.

Description

If VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanSC10Properties::deviceNoDynamicHostAllocations is VK_TRUE, vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV must not return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV-device-05068
    The number of semaphore pools currently allocated from device plus 1 must be less than or equal to the total number of semaphore pools requested via VkDeviceSemaphoreSciSyncPoolReservationCreateInfoNV::semaphoreSciSyncPoolRequestCount specified when device was created

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkSemaphoreSciSyncPoolCreateInfoNV structure

  • VUID-vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV-pAllocator-null
    pAllocator must be NULL

  • VUID-vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV-pSemaphorePool-parameter
    pSemaphorePool must be a valid pointer to a VkSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV handle

  • VUID-vkCreateSemaphoreSciSyncPoolNV-device-queuecount
    The device must have been created with at least 1 queue

Return Codes
On success, this command returns

  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

  • VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN

  • VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED
