vkCmdDispatchTileQCOM - Dispatch per-tile work items

Description

This command operates in the per-tile execution model, invoking a separate dispatch for each covered tile. The global workgroup count and local workgroup size of each dispatch are defined by the implementation to efficiently iterate over a uniform grid of pixel blocks within the area of its active tile.

Each shader invocation operates on a single pixel block and its size is determined by the shader’s tiling rate, which must be defined by shaders executed by this command. The TileShadingRateQCOM execution mode operand defines the shader’s tiling rate. Its x and y must be a power of two and less than or equal to the maxTileShadingRate limit. Its z must be less than or equal to the active tile’s depth as reported by VK_QCOM_tile_properties, and TilePropertiesQCOM.tileSize.z % TileShadingRateQCOM::z must equal 0.

The start location of the shader invocation’s pixel block is vec3(TileOffsetQCOM, 0) + (GlobalInvocationId * TileShadingRateQCOM)

Shader invocations can perform tile attachment load/store operations at any location within the active tile, but the most efficient access may be limited to fragment locations within and local to the shader invocation’s pixel block.

vkCmdBeginPerTileExecutionQCOM - Begin per-tile execution mode

Description

When per-tile execution model is enabled, recorded vkCmdDraw* or vkCmdDispatch* commands are invoked per tile. That is, the recorded draw or dispatch is invoked exactly once for each covered tile. The set of covered tiles for a given render pass instance consists of the set of render pass tiles, which can be queried with VK_QCOM_tile_properties, that are completely or partially covered by the renderArea for the render pass instance. The draw or dispatch commands may be invoked for uncovered tiles.

Each per-tile command invocation is associated with a single tile, the active tile. These per-tile invocations are not specified to execute in any particular order, but the size and offset of the active tile is available via shader built-ins.

When per-tile execution model is enabled, the following restrictions apply:

• Transform feedback commands such as cmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT, cmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT, cmdBeginQueryIndexedEXT, and cmdEndQueryIndexedEXT, must not be recorded.

• Query commands such as cmdWriteTimestamp, cmdDebugMarkerBeginEXT, cmdDebugMarkerEndEXT, cmdDebugMarkerInsertEXT, cmdBeginQuery, and cmdEndQuery, must not be recorded.

• Event commands such as cmdWaitEvents2 and cmdWaitEvents must not be recorded.

• Render pass clears like cmdClearAttachments must not be recorded

• Access of an attachment with layout IMAGE_LAYOUT_ATTACHMENT_FEEDBACK_LOOP_OPTIMAL_EXT as provided by VK_EXT_attachment_feedback_loop_layout is disallowed

• Any commands that would cause a invocations of one of the following shader stages are not allowed

  • tessellation

  • geometry

  • ray tracing

  • mesh shading

Valid Usage

• The current render pass must be a tile shading render pass

• The tileShadingPerTileDispatch or tileShadingPerTileDraw feature must be enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• commandBuffer must be a valid CommandBuffer handle

• pPerTileBeginInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid PerTileBeginInfoQCOM structure

• commandBuffer must be in the recording state

• The CommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT, or QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT operations

• This command must only be called inside of a render pass instance

• This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

Host Synchronization

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

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VkPhysicalDeviceTileShadingFeaturesQCOM - Structure describing tile shading features that can be supported by an implementation

Members

This structure describes the following features:

Description

If the PhysicalDeviceTileShadingFeaturesQCOM structure is included in the pNext chain of the PhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to getPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a Device with any features described by PhysicalDeviceTileShadingFeaturesQCOM, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to TRUE, to the pNext chain of DeviceCreateInfo when creating the Device.
