C Specification

To copy device memory to a micromap call:

// Provided by VK_EXT_opacity_micromap
void vkCmdCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    const VkCopyMemoryToMicromapInfoEXT*        pInfo);

Parameters

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

  • pInfo is a pointer to a VkCopyMicromapToMemoryInfoEXT structure defining the copy operation.

Description

Accesses to pInfo->dst must be synchronized with the VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_MICROMAP_BUILD_BIT_EXT pipeline stage and an access type of VK_ACCESS_2_MICROMAP_READ_BIT_EXT. Accesses to the buffer indicated by pInfo->src.deviceAddress must be synchronized with the VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_MICROMAP_BUILD_BIT_EXT pipeline stage and an access type of VK_ACCESS_TRANSFER_READ_BIT.

This command can accept micromaps produced by either vkCmdCopyMicromapToMemoryEXT or vkCopyMicromapToMemoryEXT.

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkCmdCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT-pInfo-07543
    pInfo->src.deviceAddress must be a valid device address for a buffer bound to device memory

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT-pInfo-07544
    pInfo->src.deviceAddress must be aligned to 256 bytes

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT-pInfo-07545
    If the buffer pointed to by pInfo->src.deviceAddress is non-sparse then it must be bound completely and contiguously to a single VkDeviceMemory object

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT-buffer-07546
    The buffer used to create pInfo->dst must be bound to device memory

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

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT-pInfo-parameter
    pInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkCopyMemoryToMicromapInfoEXT structure

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

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

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

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

Host Synchronization
  • Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized

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