VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV - Structure specifying acceleration structure memory binding

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
    typedef struct VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV {
        VkStructureType              sType;
        const void*                  pNext;
        VkAccelerationStructureNV    accelerationStructure;
        VkDeviceMemory               memory;
        VkDeviceSize                 memoryOffset;
        uint32_t                     deviceIndexCount;
        const uint32_t*              pDeviceIndices;
    } VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `accelerationStructure` is the acceleration structure to be attached to memory.

- `memory` is a `VkDeviceMemory` object describing the device memory to attach.

- `memoryOffset` is the start offset of the region of memory that is to be bound to the acceleration structure. The number of bytes returned in the VkMemoryRequirements::`size` member in `memory`, starting from `memoryOffset` bytes, will be bound to the specified acceleration structure.

- `deviceIndexCount` is the number of elements in `pDeviceIndices`.

- `pDeviceIndices` is a pointer to an array of device indices.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-accelerationStructure-03620
  `accelerationStructure` must not already be backed by a memory object

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-memoryOffset-03621
  `memoryOffset` must be less than the size of `memory`

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-memory-03622
  `memory` must have been allocated using one of the memory types allowed in the `memoryTypeBits` member of the VkMemoryRequirements structure returned from a call to vkGetAccelerationStructureMemoryRequirementsNV with `accelerationStructure` and `type` of VK_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MEMORY_REQUIREMENTS_TYPE_OBJECT_NV

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-memoryOffset-03623
  `memoryOffset` must be an integer multiple of the `alignment` member of the VkMemoryRequirements structure returned from a call to vkGetAccelerationStructureMemoryRequirementsNV with `accelerationStructure` and `type` of VK_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MEMORY_REQUIREMENTS_TYPE_OBJECT_NV

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-size-03624
  The `size` member of the `VkMemoryRequirements` structure returned from a call to vkGetAccelerationStructureMemoryRequirementsNV with `accelerationStructure` and `type` of VK_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MEMORY_REQUIREMENTS_TYPE_OBJECT_NV must be less than or equal to the size of `memory` minus `memoryOffset`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BIND_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MEMORY_INFO_NV

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-accelerationStructure-parameter
  `accelerationStructure` must be a valid VkAccelerationStructureNV handle

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-memory-parameter
  `memory` must be a valid VkDeviceMemory handle

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-pDeviceIndices-parameter
  If `deviceIndexCount` is not `0`, `pDeviceIndices` must be a valid pointer to an array of `deviceIndexCount` `uint32_t` values

- VUID-VkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryInfoNV-commonparent
  Both of `accelerationStructure`, and `memory` must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice
