Vulkan.Core11.Enums.PeerMemoryFeatureFlagBits

VkPeerMemoryFeatureFlagBits - Bitmask specifying supported peer memory features

Description

• PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_SRC_BIT specifies that the memory can be accessed as the source of any vkCmdCopy* command.

• PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_DST_BIT specifies that the memory can be accessed as the destination of any vkCmdCopy* command.

• PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_SRC_BIT specifies that the memory can be read as any memory access type.

• PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_DST_BIT specifies that the memory can be written as any memory access type. Shader atomics are considered to be writes.

The peer memory features of a memory heap also apply to any accesses that may be performed during image layout transitions.

PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_DST_BIT must be supported for all host local heaps and for at least one device-local memory heap.

If a device does not support a peer memory feature, it is still valid to use a resource that includes both local and peer memory bindings with the corresponding access type as long as only the local bindings are actually accessed. For example, an application doing split-frame rendering would use framebuffer attachments that include both local and peer memory bindings, but would scissor the rendering to only update local memory.
