C Specification

When invocation mask image usage is enabled in the bound ray tracing pipeline, the pipeline uses an invocation mask image specified by the command:

// Provided by VK_HUAWEI_invocation_mask
void vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkImageView                                 imageView,
    VkImageLayout                               imageLayout);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded

  • imageView is an image view handle specifying the invocation mask image imageView may be set to VK_NULL_HANDLE, which is equivalent to specifying a view of an image filled with ones value.

  • imageLayout is the layout that the image subresources accessible from imageView will be in when the invocation mask image is accessed

Description

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-None-04976
    The invocationMask feature must be enabled

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-imageView-04977
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, it must be a valid VkImageView handle of type VK_IMAGE_VIEW_TYPE_2D

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-imageView-04978
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, it must have a format of VK_FORMAT_R8_UINT

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-imageView-04979
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, it must have been created with VK_IMAGE_USAGE_INVOCATION_MASK_BIT_HUAWEI set

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-imageView-04980
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, imageLayout must be VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-width-04981
    Thread mask image resolution must match the width and height in vkCmdTraceRaysKHR

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-None-04982
    Each element in the invocation mask image must have the value 0 or 1. The value 1 means the invocation is active

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-depth-04983
    depth in vkCmdTraceRaysKHR must be 1

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-commandBuffer-parameter
    commandBuffer must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-imageView-parameter
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, imageView must be a valid VkImageView handle

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-imageLayout-parameter
    imageLayout must be a valid VkImageLayout value

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-commandBuffer-recording
    commandBuffer must be in the recording state

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-commandBuffer-cmdpool
    The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support compute operations

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-renderpass
    This command must only be called outside of a render pass instance

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-videocoding
    This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

  • VUID-vkCmdBindInvocationMaskHUAWEI-commonparent
    Both of commandBuffer, and imageView that are valid handles of non-ignored parameters must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice

Host Synchronization
  • Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized

  • Host access to the VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must be externally synchronized
