C Specification

To help associate query results with a particular point at which an application emitted commands, markers can be set into the command buffers with the call:

// Provided by VK_INTEL_performance_query
VkResult vkCmdSetPerformanceMarkerINTEL(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    const VkPerformanceMarkerInfoINTEL*         pMarkerInfo);

Description

The last marker set onto a command buffer before the end of a query will be part of the query result.

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

  • VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceMarkerINTEL-pMarkerInfo-parameter
    pMarkerInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkPerformanceMarkerInfoINTEL structure

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

  • VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceMarkerINTEL-commandBuffer-cmdpool
    The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support graphics, compute, or transfer operations

  • VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceMarkerINTEL-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
