## 7. Synchronization and Cache Control

Synchronization of access to resources is primarily the responsibility of the application in Vulkan. The order of execution of commands with respect to the host and other commands on the device has few implicit guarantees, and needs to be explicitly specified. Memory caches and other optimizations are also explicitly managed, requiring that the flow of data through the system is largely under application control.

Whilst some implicit guarantees exist between commands, five explicit synchronization mechanisms are exposed by Vulkan:

Fences

  Fences can be used to communicate to the host that execution of some task on the device has completed, controlling resource access between host and device.

Semaphores

  Semaphores can be used to control resource access across multiple queues.

Events

  Events provide a fine-grained synchronization primitive which can be signaled either within a command buffer or by the host, and can be waited upon within a command buffer or queried on the host. Events can be used to control resource access within a single queue.

Pipeline Barriers

  Pipeline barriers also provide synchronization control within a command buffer, but at a single point, rather than with separate signal and wait operations. Pipeline barriers can be used to control resource access within a single queue.

Render Pass Objects

  Render pass objects provide a synchronization framework for rendering tasks, built upon the concepts in this chapter. Many cases that would otherwise need an application to use other synchronization primitives can be expressed more efficiently as part of a render pass. Render pass objects can be used to control resource access within a single queue.

### 7.1. Execution and Memory Dependencies

An operation is an arbitrary amount of work to be executed on the host, a device, or an external entity such as a presentation engine. Synchronization commands introduce explicit execution dependencies, and memory dependencies between two sets of operations defined by the command’s two synchronization scopes.

The synchronization scopes define which other operations a synchronization command is able to create execution dependencies with. Any type of operation that is not in a synchronization command’s synchronization scopes will not be included in the resulting dependency. For example, for many synchronization commands, the synchronization scopes can be limited to just operations executing in specific pipeline stages, which allows other pipeline stages to be excluded from a dependency. Other scoping options are possible, depending on the particular command.

An execution dependency is a guarantee that for two sets of operations, the first set must happen-before the second set. If an operation happens-before another operation, then the first operation must complete before the second operation is initiated. More precisely:

- Let Ops1 and Ops2 be separate sets of operations.

- Let Sync be a synchronization command.

- Let Scope1st and Scope2nd be the synchronization scopes of Sync.

- Let ScopedOps1 be the intersection of sets Ops1 and Scope1st.

- Let ScopedOps2 be the intersection of sets Ops2 and Scope2nd.

- Submitting Ops1, Sync and Ops2 for execution, in that order, will result in execution dependency ExeDep between ScopedOps1 and ScopedOps2.

- Execution dependency ExeDep guarantees that ScopedOps1 happen-before ScopedOps2.

An execution dependency chain is a sequence of execution dependencies that form a happens-before relation between the first dependency’s ScopedOps1 and the final dependency’s ScopedOps2. For each consecutive pair of execution dependencies, a chain exists if the intersection of Scope2nd in the first dependency and Scope1st in the second dependency is not an empty set. The formation of a single execution dependency from an execution dependency chain can be described by substituting the following in the description of execution dependencies:

- Let Sync be a set of synchronization commands that generate an execution dependency chain.

- Let Scope1st be the first synchronization scope of the first command in Sync.

- Let Scope2nd be the second synchronization scope of the last command in Sync.

Execution dependencies alone are not sufficient to guarantee that values resulting from writes in one set of operations can be read from another set of operations.

Three additional types of operations are used to control memory access. Availability operations cause the values generated by specified memory write accesses to become available to a memory domain for future access. Any available value remains available until a subsequent write to the same memory location occurs (whether it is made available or not) or the memory is freed. Memory domain operations cause writes that are available to a source memory domain to become available to a destination memory domain (an example of this is making writes available to the host domain available to the device domain). Visibility operations cause values available to a memory domain to become visible to specified memory accesses.

Availability, visibility, memory domains, and memory domain operations are formally defined in the Availability and Visibility section of the Memory Model chapter. Which API operations perform each of these operations is defined in Availability, Visibility, and Domain Operations.

A memory dependency is an execution dependency which includes availability and visibility operations such that:

- The first set of operations happens-before the availability operation.

- The availability operation happens-before the visibility operation.

- The visibility operation happens-before the second set of operations.

Once written values are made visible to a particular type of memory access, they can be read or written by that type of memory access. Most synchronization commands in Vulkan define a memory dependency.

The specific memory accesses that are made available and visible are defined by the access scopes of a memory dependency. Any type of access that is in a memory dependency’s first access scope and occurs in ScopedOps1 is made available. Any type of access that is in a memory dependency’s second access scope and occurs in ScopedOps2 has any available writes made visible to it. Any type of operation that is not in a synchronization command’s access scopes will not be included in the resulting dependency.

A memory dependency enforces availability and visibility of memory accesses and execution order between two sets of operations. Adding to the description of execution dependency chains:

- Let MemOps1 be the set of memory accesses performed by ScopedOps1.

- Let MemOps2 be the set of memory accesses performed by ScopedOps2.

- Let AccessScope1st be the first access scope of the first command in the Sync chain.

- Let AccessScope2nd be the second access scope of the last command in the Sync chain.

- Let ScopedMemOps1 be the intersection of sets MemOps1 and AccessScope1st.

- Let ScopedMemOps2 be the intersection of sets MemOps2 and AccessScope2nd.

- Submitting Ops1, Sync, and Ops2 for execution, in that order, will result in a memory dependency MemDep between ScopedOps1 and ScopedOps2.

- Memory dependency MemDep guarantees that:

  - Memory writes in ScopedMemOps1 are made available.

  - Available memory writes, including those from ScopedMemOps1, are made visible to ScopedMemOps2.

Note | Execution and memory dependencies are used to solve data hazards, i.e. to ensure that read and write operations occur in a well-defined order. Write-after-read hazards can be solved with just an execution dependency, but read-after-write and write-after-write hazards need appropriate memory dependencies to be included between them. If an application does not include dependencies to solve these hazards, the results and execution orders of memory accesses are undefined.

#### 7.1.1. Image Layout Transitions

Image subresources can be transitioned from one layout to another as part of a memory dependency (e.g. by using an image memory barrier). When a layout transition is specified in a memory dependency, it happens-after the availability operations in the memory dependency, and happens-before the visibility operations. Image layout transitions may perform read and write accesses on all memory bound to the image subresource range, so applications must ensure that all memory writes have been made available before a layout transition is executed. Available memory is automatically made visible to a layout transition, and writes performed by a layout transition are automatically made available.

Layout transitions always apply to a particular image subresource range, and specify both an old layout and new layout. The old layout must either be `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED`, or match the current layout of the image subresource range. If the old layout matches the current layout of the image subresource range, the transition preserves the contents of that range. If the old layout is `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED`, the contents of that range may be discarded.

Note | Image layout transitions with `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED` allow the implementation to discard the image subresource range, which can provide performance or power benefits. Tile-based architectures may be able to avoid flushing tile data to memory, and immediate style renderers may be able to achieve fast metadata clears to reinitialize frame buffer compression state, or similar. If the contents of an attachment are not needed after a render pass completes, then applications should use `VK_ATTACHMENT_STORE_OP_DONT_CARE`.

As image layout transitions may perform read and write accesses on the memory bound to the image, if the image subresource affected by the layout transition is bound to peer memory for any device in the current device mask then the memory heap the bound memory comes from must support the `VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_SRC_BIT` and `VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_DST_BIT` capabilities as returned by vkGetDeviceGroupPeerMemoryFeatures.

Note | Applications must ensure that layout transitions happen-after all operations accessing the image with the old layout, and happen-before any operations that will access the image with the new layout. Layout transitions are potentially read/write operations, so not defining appropriate memory dependencies to guarantee this will result in a data race.

Image layout transitions interact with memory aliasing.

Layout transitions that are performed via image memory barriers execute in their entirety in submission order, relative to other image layout transitions submitted to the same queue, including those performed by render passes. In effect there is an implicit execution dependency from each such layout transition to all layout transitions previously submitted to the same queue.

The image layout of each image subresource of a depth/stencil image created with `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SAMPLE_LOCATIONS_COMPATIBLE_DEPTH_BIT_EXT` is dependent on the last sample locations used to render to the image subresource as a depth/stencil attachment, thus when the `image` member of an image memory barrier is an image created with this flag the application can chain a VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT structure to the `pNext` chain of VkImageMemoryBarrier2 or VkImageMemoryBarrier to specify the sample locations to use during any image layout transition.

If the `VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT` structure does not match the sample location state last used to render to the image subresource range specified by `subresourceRange`, or if no `VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT` structure is present, then the contents of the given image subresource range becomes undefined as if `oldLayout` would equal `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED`.

#### 7.1.2. Pipeline Stages

The work performed by an action command consists of multiple operations, which are performed as a sequence of logically independent steps known as pipeline stages. The exact pipeline stages executed depend on the particular command that is used, and current command buffer state when the command was recorded.

Note | Operations performed by synchronization commands (e.g. availability and visibility operations) are not executed by a defined pipeline stage. However other commands can still synchronize with them by using the synchronization scopes to create a dependency chain.

Execution of operations across pipeline stages must adhere to implicit ordering guarantees, particularly including pipeline stage order. Otherwise, execution across pipeline stages may overlap or execute out of order with regards to other stages, unless otherwise enforced by an execution dependency.

Several of the synchronization commands include pipeline stage parameters, restricting the synchronization scopes for that command to just those stages. This allows fine grained control over the exact execution dependencies and accesses performed by action commands. Implementations should use these pipeline stages to avoid unnecessary stalls or cache flushing.

Bits which can be set in a VkPipelineStageFlags2 mask, specifying stages of execution, are:

`VkPipelineStageFlags` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkPipelineStageFlagBits.

If a synchronization command includes a source stage mask, its first synchronization scope only includes execution of the pipeline stages specified in that mask and any logically earlier stages. Its first access scope only includes memory accesses performed by pipeline stages explicitly specified in the source stage mask.

If a synchronization command includes a destination stage mask, its second synchronization scope only includes execution of the pipeline stages specified in that mask and any logically later stages. Its second access scope only includes memory accesses performed by pipeline stages explicitly specified in the destination stage mask.

Note | Note that access scopes do not interact with the logically earlier or later stages for either scope - only the stages the application specifies are considered part of each access scope.

Certain pipeline stages are only available on queues that support a particular set of operations. The following table lists, for each pipeline stage flag, which queue capability flag must be supported by the queue. When multiple flags are enumerated in the second column of the table, it means that the pipeline stage is supported on the queue if it supports any of the listed capability flags. For further details on queue capabilities see Physical Device Enumeration and Queues.

Pipeline stages that execute as a result of a command logically complete execution in a specific order, such that completion of a logically later pipeline stage must not happen-before completion of a logically earlier stage. This means that including any stage in the source stage mask for a particular synchronization command also implies that any logically earlier stages are included in Scope1st for that command.

Similarly, initiation of a logically earlier pipeline stage must not happen-after initiation of a logically later pipeline stage. Including any given stage in the destination stage mask for a particular synchronization command also implies that any logically later stages are included in Scope2nd for that command.

Note | Implementations may not support synchronization at every pipeline stage for every synchronization operation. If a pipeline stage that an implementation does not support synchronization for appears in a source stage mask, it may substitute any logically later stage in its place for the first synchronization scope. If a pipeline stage that an implementation does not support synchronization for appears in a destination stage mask, it may substitute any logically earlier stage in its place for the second synchronization scope. For example, if an implementation is unable to signal an event immediately after vertex shader execution is complete, it may instead signal the event after color attachment output has completed. If an implementation makes such a substitution, it must not affect the semantics of execution or memory dependencies or image and buffer memory barriers.

#### 7.1.3. Access Types

Memory in Vulkan can be accessed from within shader invocations and via some fixed-function stages of the pipeline. The access type is a function of the descriptor type used, or how a fixed-function stage accesses memory.

Some synchronization commands take sets of access types as parameters to define the access scopes of a memory dependency. If a synchronization command includes a source access mask, its first access scope only includes accesses via the access types specified in that mask. Similarly, if a synchronization command includes a destination access mask, its second access scope only includes accesses via the access types specified in that mask.

Bits which can be set in the `srcAccessMask` and `dstAccessMask` members of VkMemoryBarrier2KHR, VkImageMemoryBarrier2KHR, and VkBufferMemoryBarrier2KHR, specifying access behavior, are:

Note | The `VkAccessFlags2` bitmask goes beyond the 31 individual bit flags allowable within a C99 enum, which is how VkAccessFlagBits is defined. The first 31 values are common to both, and are interchangeable.

`VkAccessFlags2` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkAccessFlagBits2:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef VkFlags64 VkAccessFlags2;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    typedef VkAccessFlags2 VkAccessFlags2KHR;

An application can link a VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR structure in the `pNext` chain of VkMemoryBarrier2, VkBufferMemoryBarrier2, or VkImageMemoryBarrier2 to provide additional access flags beyond those available in VkAccessFlagBits2.

The `VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance8
    typedef struct VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR {
        VkStructureType      sType;
        const void*          pNext;
        VkAccessFlags3KHR    srcAccessMask3;
        VkAccessFlags3KHR    dstAccessMask3;
    } VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR;

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

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

- `srcAccessMask3` is a VkAccessFlags3KHR mask of access flags to be included in the first access scope.

- `dstAccessMask3` is a VkAccessFlags3KHR mask of access flags to be included in the second access scope.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MEMORY_BARRIER_ACCESS_FLAGS_3_KHR`

- VUID-VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR-srcAccessMask3-parameter
  `srcAccessMask3` must be a valid combination of VkAccessFlagBits3KHR values

- VUID-VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR-dstAccessMask3-parameter
  `dstAccessMask3` must be a valid combination of VkAccessFlagBits3KHR values

Bits which can be set in the `srcAccessMask3` and `dstAccessMask3` members of VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR, specifying access behavior, are:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance8
    // Flag bits for VkAccessFlagBits3KHR
    typedef VkFlags64 VkAccessFlagBits3KHR;
    static const VkAccessFlagBits3KHR VK_ACCESS_3_NONE_KHR = 0ULL;

- `VK_ACCESS_3_NONE_KHR` specifies no additional accesses.

`VkAccessFlags3KHR` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkAccessFlagBits3KHR:

    typedef VkFlags64 VkAccessFlags3KHR;

When a VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR structure is linked in the `pNext` field of VkMemoryBarrier2, VkBufferMemoryBarrier2, or VkImageMemoryBarrier2, the flags specified in the `srcAccessMask3` and `dstAccessMask3` fields are considered in addition to the flags in the `srcAccessMask` and `dstAccessMask` fields, respectively, to allow up to 128 total access types to be specified for the first or second access scope.

Note | When VkAccessFlagBits3KHR and VkAccessFlagBits2 are used together, the two sets of 64 flags bits are combined together into 128 flag bits (effectively OR’ing them together). This is different from VkAccessFlagBits2 and VkAccessFlagBits, where the 64 bit VkAccessFlagBits2 extends and replaces the 32 bit VkAccessFlagBits.

Bits which can be set in the `srcAccessMask` and `dstAccessMask` members of VkSubpassDependency, VkSubpassDependency2, VkMemoryBarrier, VkBufferMemoryBarrier, and VkImageMemoryBarrier, specifying access behavior, are:

Certain access types are only performed by a subset of pipeline stages. Any synchronization command that takes both stage masks and access masks uses both to define the access scopes - only the specified access types performed by the specified stages are included in the access scope. An application must not specify an access flag in a synchronization command if it does not include a pipeline stage in the corresponding stage mask that is able to perform accesses of that type. The following table lists, for each access flag, which pipeline stages can perform that type of access.

    typedef VkFlags VkAccessFlags;

`VkAccessFlags` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkAccessFlagBits.

If a memory object does not have the `VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT` property, then vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges must be called in order to guarantee that writes to the memory object from the host are made available to the host domain, where they can be further made available to the device domain via a domain operation. Similarly, vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges must be called to guarantee that writes which are available to the host domain are made visible to host operations.

If the memory object does have the `VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT` property flag, writes to the memory object from the host are automatically made available to the host domain. Similarly, writes made available to the host domain are automatically made visible to the host.

Note | Queue submission commands automatically perform a domain operation from host to device for all writes performed before the command executes, so in most cases an explicit memory barrier is not needed for this case. In the few circumstances where a submit does not occur between the host write and the device read access, writes can be made available by using an explicit memory barrier.

- `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_LATE_FRAGMENT_TESTS_BIT`

- `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OUTPUT_BIT`

For commands recorded where the per-tile execution model is enabled, the `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_COMPUTE_SHADER_BIT` and `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_DRAW_INDIRECT_BIT` are included as framebuffer-space pipeline stages.

For these pipeline stages, an execution or memory dependency from the first set of operations to the second set can either be a single framebuffer-global dependency, or split into multiple framebuffer-local dependencies. A dependency with non-framebuffer-space pipeline stages is neither framebuffer-global nor framebuffer-local.

A framebuffer region is a subset of the entire framebuffer, and can either be:

- A sample region, which is set of sample (x, y, layer, sample) coordinates that is a subset of the entire framebuffer, or

- A fragment region, which is a set of fragment (x, y, layer) coordinates that is a subset of the entire framebuffer.

Both synchronization scopes of a framebuffer-local dependency include only the operations performed within corresponding framebuffer regions (as defined below). No ordering guarantees are made between different framebuffer regions for a framebuffer-local dependency.

Both synchronization scopes of a framebuffer-global dependency include operations on all framebuffer-regions.

If the first synchronization scope includes operations on pixels/fragments with N samples and the second synchronization scope includes operations on pixels/fragments with M samples, where N does not equal M, then a framebuffer region containing all samples at a given (x, y, layer) coordinate in the first synchronization scope corresponds to a region containing all samples at the same coordinate in the second synchronization scope. In other words, the framebuffer region is a fragment region and it is a pixel granularity dependency. If N equals M, and if the `VkSubpassDescription`::`flags` does not specify the `VK_SUBPASS_DESCRIPTION_FRAGMENT_REGION_BIT_QCOM` flag, then a framebuffer region containing a single (x, y, layer, sample) coordinate in the first synchronization scope corresponds to a region containing the same sample at the same coordinate in the second synchronization scope. In other words, the framebuffer region is a sample region and it is a sample granularity dependency.

If the pipeline performing the operation was created with `VK_PIPELINE_COLOR_BLEND_STATE_CREATE_RASTERIZATION_ORDER_ATTACHMENT_ACCESS_BIT_EXT`, `VK_PIPELINE_DEPTH_STENCIL_STATE_CREATE_RASTERIZATION_ORDER_ATTACHMENT_DEPTH_ACCESS_BIT_EXT`, or `VK_PIPELINE_DEPTH_STENCIL_STATE_CREATE_RASTERIZATION_ORDER_ATTACHMENT_STENCIL_ACCESS_BIT_EXT`, the framebuffer region is a fragment region and it is a pixel granularity dependency.

For commands recorded within a render pass that enables tile shading, the framebuffer region is a tile region and it is a tile granularity dependency.

Note | For commands recorded within a render pass instance that enables tile shading, the fragment shader invocations for a given tile will be grouped together, but the tiles do not run in any particular order, and the fragment shader invocations within a tile do not run in any particular order. Otherwise, fragment shader invocations are not specified to run in any particular groupings, the size of a framebuffer region is implementation-dependent, not known to the application, and must be assumed to be no larger than specified above.

Note | Practically, the pixel vs. sample granularity dependency means that if an input attachment has a different number of samples than the pipeline’s `rasterizationSamples`, then a fragment can access any sample in the input attachment’s pixel even if it only uses framebuffer-local dependencies. If the input attachment has the same number of samples, then the fragment can only access the covered samples in its input `SampleMask` (i.e. the fragment operations happen-after a framebuffer-local dependency for each sample the fragment covers). To access samples that are not covered, either the `VkSubpassDescription`::`flags` `VK_SUBPASS_DESCRIPTION_FRAGMENT_REGION_BIT_QCOM` flag is required, or a framebuffer-global dependency is required. For a tile granularity dependency, a fragment shader can use tile attachment variables to access any pixel or sample within the active tile for color, depth/stencil or input attachments even if only framebuffer-local dependencies are used.

If a synchronization command includes a `dependencyFlags` parameter, and specifies the `VK_DEPENDENCY_BY_REGION_BIT` flag, then it defines framebuffer-local dependencies for the framebuffer-space pipeline stages in that synchronization command, for all framebuffer regions. If no `dependencyFlags` parameter is included, or the `VK_DEPENDENCY_BY_REGION_BIT` flag is not specified, then a framebuffer-global dependency is specified for those stages. The `VK_DEPENDENCY_BY_REGION_BIT` flag does not affect the dependencies between non-framebuffer-space pipeline stages, nor does it affect the dependencies between framebuffer-space and non-framebuffer-space pipeline stages.

Note | Framebuffer-local dependencies are more efficient for most architectures; particularly tile-based architectures - which can keep framebuffer-regions entirely in on-chip registers and thus avoid external bandwidth across such a dependency. Including a framebuffer-global dependency in your rendering will usually force all implementations to flush data to memory, or to a higher level cache, breaking any potential locality optimizations.

#### 7.1.5. View-Local Dependencies

In a render pass instance that has multiview enabled, dependencies can be either view-local or view-global.

A view-local dependency only includes operations from a single source view from the source subpass in the first synchronization scope, and only includes operations from a single destination view from the destination subpass in the second synchronization scope. A view-global dependency includes all views in the view mask of the source and destination subpasses in the corresponding synchronization scopes.

If a synchronization command includes a `dependencyFlags` parameter and specifies the `VK_DEPENDENCY_VIEW_LOCAL_BIT` flag, then it defines view-local dependencies for that synchronization command, for all views. If no `dependencyFlags` parameter is included or the `VK_DEPENDENCY_VIEW_LOCAL_BIT` flag is not specified, then a view-global dependency is specified.

#### 7.1.6. Device-Local Dependencies

Dependencies can be either device-local or non-device-local. A device-local dependency acts as multiple separate dependencies, one for each physical device that executes the synchronization command, where each dependency only includes operations from that physical device in both synchronization scopes. A non-device-local dependency is a single dependency where both synchronization scopes include operations from all physical devices that participate in the synchronization command. For subpass dependencies, all physical devices in the VkDeviceGroupRenderPassBeginInfo::`deviceMask` participate in the dependency, and for pipeline barriers all physical devices that are set in the command buffer’s current device mask participate in the dependency.

If a synchronization command includes a `dependencyFlags` parameter and specifies the `VK_DEPENDENCY_DEVICE_GROUP_BIT` flag, then it defines a non-device-local dependency for that synchronization command. If no `dependencyFlags` parameter is included or the `VK_DEPENDENCY_DEVICE_GROUP_BIT` flag is not specified, then it defines device-local dependencies for that synchronization command, for all participating physical devices.

Semaphore and event dependencies are device-local and only execute on the one physical device that performs the dependency.

### 7.2. Implicit Synchronization Guarantees

A small number of implicit ordering guarantees are provided by Vulkan, ensuring that the order in which commands are submitted is meaningful, and avoiding unnecessary complexity in common operations.

Submission order is a fundamental ordering in Vulkan, giving meaning to the order in which action and synchronization commands are recorded and submitted to a single queue. Explicit and implicit ordering guarantees between commands in Vulkan all work on the premise that this ordering is meaningful. This order does not itself define any execution or memory dependencies; synchronization commands and other orderings within the API use this ordering to define their scopes.

Submission order for any given set of commands is based on the order in which they were recorded to command buffers and then submitted. This order is determined as follows:

1. The initial order is determined by the order in which vkQueueSubmit and vkQueueSubmit2 commands are executed on the host, for a single queue, from first to last.

2. The order in which VkSubmitInfo structures are specified in the `pSubmits` parameter of vkQueueSubmit, or in which VkSubmitInfo2 structures are specified in the `pSubmits` parameter of vkQueueSubmit2, from lowest index to highest.

3. The order in which command buffers are specified in the `pCommandBuffers` member of VkSubmitInfo or VkSubmitInfo2 from lowest index to highest.

4. The order in which commands outside of a render pass were recorded to a command buffer on the host, from first to last.

5. The order in which commands inside a single subpass were recorded to a command buffer on the host, from first to last.

Note | When using a render pass object with multiple subpasses, commands in different subpasses have no defined submission order relative to each other, regardless of the order in which the subpasses were recorded. Commands within a subpass are still ordered relative to other commands in the same subpass, and those outside of the render pass.

State commands do not execute any operations on the device, instead they set the state of the command buffer when they execute on the host, in the order that they are recorded. Action commands consume the current state of the command buffer when they are recorded, and will execute state changes on the device as required to match the recorded state.

The order of primitives passing through the graphics pipeline and image layout transitions as part of an image memory barrier provide additional guarantees based on submission order.

Execution of pipeline stages within a given command also has a loose ordering, dependent only on a single command.

Signal operation order is a fundamental ordering in Vulkan, giving meaning to the order in which semaphore and fence signal operations occur when submitted to a single queue. The signal operation order for queue operations is determined as follows:

1. The initial order is determined by the order in which vkQueueSubmit and vkQueueSubmit2 commands are executed on the host, for a single queue, from first to last.

2. The order in which VkSubmitInfo structures are specified in the `pSubmits` parameter of vkQueueSubmit, or in which VkSubmitInfo2 structures are specified in the `pSubmits` parameter of vkQueueSubmit2, from lowest index to highest.

3. The fence signal operation defined by the `fence` parameter of a vkQueueSubmit or vkQueueSubmit2 or vkQueueBindSparse command is ordered after all semaphore signal operations defined by that command.

Semaphore signal operations defined by a single VkSubmitInfo or VkSubmitInfo2 or VkBindSparseInfo structure are unordered with respect to other semaphore signal operations defined within the same structure.

The vkSignalSemaphore command does not execute on a queue but instead performs the signal operation from the host. The semaphore signal operation defined by executing a vkSignalSemaphore command happens-after the vkSignalSemaphore command is invoked and happens-before the command returns.

Note | When signaling timeline semaphores, it is the responsibility of the application to ensure that they are ordered such that the semaphore value is strictly increasing. Because the first synchronization scope for a semaphore signal operation contains all semaphore signal operations which occur earlier in submission order, all semaphore signal operations contained in any given batch are guaranteed to happen-after all semaphore signal operations contained in any previous batches. However, no ordering guarantee is provided between the semaphore signal operations defined within a single batch. This, combined with the requirement that timeline semaphore values strictly increase, means that it is invalid to signal the same timeline semaphore twice within a single batch. If an application wishes to ensure that some semaphore signal operation happens-after some other semaphore signal operation, it can submit a separate batch containing only semaphore signal operations, which will happen-after the semaphore signal operations in any earlier batches. When signaling a semaphore from the host, the only ordering guarantee is that the signal operation happens-after when vkSignalSemaphore is called and happens-before it returns. Therefore, it is invalid to call `vkSignalSemaphore` while there are any outstanding signal operations on that semaphore from any queue submissions unless those queue submissions have some dependency which ensures that they happen-after the host signal operation. One example of this would be if the pending signal operation is, itself, waiting on the same semaphore at a lower value and the call to `vkSignalSemaphore` signals that lower value. Furthermore, if there are two or more processes or threads signaling the same timeline semaphore from the host, the application must ensure that the `vkSignalSemaphore` with the lower semaphore value returns before `vkSignalSemaphore` is called with the higher value.

### 7.3. Fences

Fences are a synchronization primitive that can be used to insert a dependency from a queue to the host. Fences have two states - signaled and unsignaled. A fence can be signaled as part of the execution of a queue submission command. Fences can be unsignaled on the host with vkResetFences. Fences can be waited on by the host with the vkWaitForFences command, and the current state can be queried with vkGetFenceStatus.

The internal data of a fence may include a reference to any resources and pending work associated with signal or unsignal operations performed on that fence object, collectively referred to as the fence’s payload. Mechanisms to import and export that internal data to and from fences are provided below. These mechanisms indirectly enable applications to share fence state between two or more fences and other synchronization primitives across process and API boundaries.

Fences are represented by `VkFence` handles:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkFence)

To create a fence, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkCreateFence(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkFenceCreateInfo*                    pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkFence*                                    pFence);

- `device` is the logical device that creates the fence.

    typedef enum VkFenceCreateFlagBits {
        VK_FENCE_CREATE_SIGNALED_BIT = 0x00000001,
    } VkFenceCreateFlagBits;

- `VK_FENCE_CREATE_SIGNALED_BIT` specifies that the fence object is created in the signaled state. Otherwise, it is created in the unsignaled state.

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef VkFlags VkFenceCreateFlags;

`VkFenceCreateFlags` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkFenceCreateFlagBits.

To create a fence whose payload can be exported to external handles, add a VkExportFenceCreateInfo structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkFenceCreateInfo structure. The `VkExportFenceCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkExportFenceCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType                   sType;

    typedef struct VkExportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType               sType;

- `dwAccess` is a `DWORD` specifying access rights of the handle.

- `name` is a null-terminated UTF-16 string to associate with the underlying synchronization primitive referenced by NT handles exported from the created fence.

If VkExportFenceCreateInfo is not included in the same `pNext` chain, this structure is ignored.

If VkExportFenceCreateInfo is included in the `pNext` chain of VkFenceCreateInfo with a Windows `handleType`, but either `VkExportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR` is not included in the `pNext` chain, or it is included but `pAttributes` is `NULL`, default security descriptor values will be used, and child processes created by the application will not inherit the handle, as described in the MSDN documentation for “Synchronization Object Security and Access Rights”1. Further, if the structure is not present, the access rights will be

`DXGI_SHARED_RESOURCE_READ` | `DXGI_SHARED_RESOURCE_WRITE`

for handles of the following types:

- `device` is the logical device that created the fence being exported.

- `pGetFdInfo` is a pointer to a VkFenceGetFdInfoKHR structure containing parameters of the export operation.

- `pFd` will return the file descriptor representing the fence payload.

Each call to `vkGetFenceFdKHR` must create a new file descriptor and transfer ownership of it to the application. To avoid leaking resources, the application must release ownership of the file descriptor when it is no longer needed.

Note | Ownership can be released in many ways. For example, the application can call `close`() on the file descriptor, or transfer ownership back to Vulkan by using the file descriptor to import a fence payload.

If `pGetFdInfo->handleType` is `VK_EXTERNAL_FENCE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT` and the fence is signaled at the time `vkGetFenceFdKHR` is called, `pFd` may return the value `-1` instead of a valid file descriptor.

Where supported by the operating system, the implementation must set the file descriptor to be closed automatically when an `execve` system call is made.

Exporting a file descriptor from a fence may have side effects depending on the transference of the specified handle type, as described in Importing Fence State.

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `fence` must be externally synchronized

To query the status of a fence from the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkGetFenceStatus(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkFence                                     fence);

- `device` is the logical device that owns the fence.

- `fence` is the handle of the fence to query.

Upon success, `vkGetFenceStatus` returns the status of the fence object, with the following return codes:

Table 5. Fence Object Status Codes
Status | Meaning
--- | ---
`VK_SUCCESS` | The fence specified by `fence` is signaled.
`VK_NOT_READY` | The fence specified by `fence` is unsignaled.
`VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST` | The device has been lost. See Lost Device.

If a queue submission command is pending execution, then the value returned by this command may immediately be out of date.

If the device has been lost (see Lost Device), `vkGetFenceStatus` may return any of the above status codes. If the device has been lost and `vkGetFenceStatus` is called repeatedly, it will eventually return either `VK_SUCCESS` or `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetFenceStatus-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkGetFenceStatus-fence-parameter
  `fence` must be a valid VkFence handle

- VUID-vkGetFenceStatus-fence-parent
  `fence` must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`

Return Codes

Success

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

  - `VK_NOT_READY`

Failure

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`

To set the state of fences to unsignaled from the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkResetFences(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    fenceCount,
        const VkFence*                              pFences);

- `device` is the logical device that owns the fences.

- `fenceCount` is the number of fences to reset.

- `pFences` is a pointer to an array of fence handles to reset.

If any member of `pFences` currently has its payload imported with temporary permanence, that fence’s prior permanent payload is first restored. The remaining operations described therefore operate on the restored payload.

When vkResetFences is executed on the host, it defines a fence unsignal operation for each fence, which resets the fence to the unsignaled state.

If any member of `pFences` is already in the unsignaled state when vkResetFences is executed, then vkResetFences has no effect on that fence.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkResetFences-pFences-01123
  Each element of `pFences` must not be currently associated with any queue command that has not yet completed execution on that queue

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

Failure

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`

When a fence is submitted to a queue as part of a queue submission command, it defines a memory dependency on the batches that were submitted as part of that command, and defines a fence signal operation which sets the fence to the signaled state.

The first synchronization scope includes every batch submitted in the same queue submission command. Fence signal operations that are defined by vkQueueSubmit or vkQueueSubmit2 additionally include in the first synchronization scope all commands that occur earlier in submission order. Fence signal operations that are defined by vkQueueSubmit or vkQueueSubmit2 or vkQueueBindSparse additionally include in the first synchronization scope any semaphore and fence signal operations that occur earlier in signal operation order.

The second synchronization scope only includes the fence signal operation.

The first access scope includes all memory access performed by the device.

The second access scope is empty.

To wait for one or more fences to enter the signaled state on the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkWaitForFences(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    fenceCount,
        const VkFence*                              pFences,
        VkBool32                                    waitAll,
        uint64_t                                    timeout);

- `device` is the logical device that owns the fences.

- `fenceCount` is the number of fences to wait on.

- `pFences` is a pointer to an array of `fenceCount` fence handles.

- `waitAll` is the condition that must be satisfied to successfully unblock the wait. If `waitAll` is `VK_TRUE`, then the condition is that all fences in `pFences` are signaled. Otherwise, the condition is that at least one fence in `pFences` is signaled.

- `timeout` is the timeout period in units of nanoseconds. `timeout` is adjusted to the closest value allowed by the implementation-dependent timeout accuracy, which may be substantially longer than one nanosecond, and may be longer than the requested period.

If the condition is satisfied when `vkWaitForFences` is called, then `vkWaitForFences` returns immediately. If the condition is not satisfied at the time `vkWaitForFences` is called, then `vkWaitForFences` will block and wait until the condition is satisfied or the `timeout` has expired, whichever is sooner.

If `timeout` is zero, then `vkWaitForFences` does not wait, but simply returns the current state of the fences. `VK_TIMEOUT` will be returned in this case if the condition is not satisfied, even though no actual wait was performed.

If the condition is satisfied before the `timeout` has expired, `vkWaitForFences` returns `VK_SUCCESS`. Otherwise, `vkWaitForFences` returns `VK_TIMEOUT` after the `timeout` has expired.

If device loss occurs (see Lost Device) before the timeout has expired, `vkWaitForFences` must return in finite time with either `VK_SUCCESS` or `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`.

Note | While we guarantee that `vkWaitForFences` must return in finite time, no guarantees are made that it returns immediately upon device loss. However, the application can reasonably expect that the delay will be on the order of seconds and that calling `vkWaitForFences` will not result in a permanently (or seemingly permanently) dead process.

An execution dependency is defined by waiting for a fence to become signaled, either via vkWaitForFences or by polling on vkGetFenceStatus.

The first synchronization scope includes only the fence signal operation.

The second synchronization scope includes the host operations of vkWaitForFences or vkGetFenceStatus indicating that the fence has become signaled.

Note | Signaling a fence and waiting on the host does not guarantee that the results of memory accesses will be visible to the host, as the access scope of a memory dependency defined by a fence only includes device access. A memory barrier or other memory dependency must be used to guarantee this. See the description of host access types for more information.

#### 7.3.1. Alternate Methods to Signal Fences

    } VkDisplayEventTypeEXT;

- `VK_DISPLAY_EVENT_TYPE_FIRST_PIXEL_OUT_EXT` specifies that the fence is signaled when the first pixel of the next display refresh cycle leaves the display engine for the display.

#### 7.3.2. Importing Fence Payloads

Applications can import a fence payload into an existing fence using an external fence handle. The effects of the import operation will be either temporary or permanent, as specified by the application. If the import is temporary, the fence will be restored to its permanent state the next time that fence is passed to vkResetFences.

Note | Restoring a fence to its prior permanent payload is a distinct operation from resetting a fence payload. See vkResetFences for more detail.

Performing a subsequent temporary import on a fence before resetting it has no effect on this requirement; the next unsignal of the fence must still restore its last permanent state. A permanent payload import behaves as if the target fence was destroyed, and a new fence was created with the same handle but the imported payload. Because importing a fence payload temporarily or permanently detaches the existing payload from a fence, similar usage restrictions to those applied to `vkDestroyFence` are applied to any command that imports a fence payload. Which of these import types is used is referred to as the import operation’s permanence. Each handle type supports either one or both types of permanence.

The implementation must perform the import operation by either referencing or copying the payload referred to by the specified external fence handle, depending on the handle’s type. The import method used is referred to as the handle type’s transference. When using handle types with reference transference, importing a payload to a fence adds the fence to the set of all fences sharing that payload. This set includes the fence from which the payload was exported. Fence signaling, waiting, and resetting operations performed on any fence in the set must behave as if the set were a single fence. Importing a payload using handle types with copy transference creates a duplicate copy of the payload at the time of import, but makes no further reference to it. Fence signaling, waiting, and resetting operations performed on the target of copy imports must not affect any other fence or payload.

Export operations have the same transference as the specified handle type’s import operations. Additionally, exporting a fence payload to a handle with copy transference has the same side effects on the source fence’s payload as executing a fence reset operation. If the fence was using a temporarily imported payload, the fence’s prior permanent payload will be restored.

Note | The tables Handle Types Supported by `VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR` and Handle Types Supported by `VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR` define the permanence and transference of each handle type.

External synchronization allows implementations to modify an object’s internal state, i.e. payload, without internal synchronization. However, for fences sharing a payload across processes, satisfying the external synchronization requirements of `VkFence` parameters as if all fences in the set were the same object is sometimes infeasible. Satisfying valid usage constraints on the state of a fence would similarly require impractical coordination or levels of trust between processes. Therefore, these constraints only apply to a specific fence handle, not to its payload. For distinct fence objects which share a payload:

- If multiple commands which queue a signal operation, or which unsignal a fence, are called concurrently, behavior will be as if the commands were called in an arbitrary sequential order.

- If a queue submission command is called with a fence that is sharing a payload, and the payload is already associated with another queue command that has not yet completed execution, either one or both of the commands will cause the fence to become signaled when they complete execution.

- If a fence payload is reset while it is associated with a queue command that has not yet completed execution, the payload will become unsignaled, but may become signaled again when the command completes execution.

- In the preceding cases, any of the devices associated with the fences sharing the payload may be lost, or any of the queue submission or fence reset commands may return `VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED`.

Other than these non-deterministic results, behavior is well defined. In particular:

- The implementation must not crash or enter an internally inconsistent state where future valid Vulkan commands might cause undefined results,

- Timeouts on future wait commands on fences sharing the payload must be effective.

Note | These rules allow processes to synchronize access to shared memory without trusting each other. However, such processes must still be cautious not to use the shared fence for more than synchronizing access to the shared memory. For example, a process should not use a fence with shared payload to tell when commands it submitted to a queue have completed and objects used by those commands may be destroyed, since the other process can accidentally or maliciously cause the fence to signal before the commands actually complete.

When a fence is using an imported payload, its VkExportFenceCreateInfo::`handleTypes` value is specified when creating the fence from which the payload was exported, rather than specified when creating the fence. Additionally, VkExternalFenceProperties::`exportFromImportedHandleTypes` restricts which handle types can be exported from such a fence based on the specific handle type used to import the current payload. Passing a fence to vkAcquireNextImageKHR is equivalent to temporarily importing a fence payload to that fence.

Note | Because the exportable handle types of an imported fence correspond to its current imported payload, and vkAcquireNextImageKHR behaves the same as a temporary import operation for which the source fence is opaque to the application, applications have no way of determining whether any external handle types can be exported from a fence in this state. Therefore, applications must not attempt to export handles from fences using a temporarily imported payload from vkAcquireNextImageKHR.

When importing a fence payload, it is the responsibility of the application to ensure the external handles meet all valid usage requirements. However, implementations must perform sufficient validation of external handles to ensure that the operation results in a valid fence which will not cause program termination, device loss, queue stalls, host thread stalls, or corruption of other resources when used as allowed according to its import parameters. If the external handle provided does not meet these requirements, the implementation must fail the fence payload import operation with the error code `VK_ERROR_INVALID_EXTERNAL_HANDLE`.

To import a fence payload from a Windows handle, call:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_fence_win32
    VkResult vkImportFenceWin32HandleKHR(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR*      pImportFenceWin32HandleInfo);

- `device` is the logical device that created the fence.

- `pImportFenceWin32HandleInfo` is a pointer to a VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR structure specifying the fence and import parameters.

Importing a fence payload from Windows handles does not transfer ownership of the handle to the Vulkan implementation. For handle types defined as NT handles, the application must release ownership using the `CloseHandle` system call when the handle is no longer needed.

Applications can import the same fence payload into multiple instances of Vulkan, into the same instance from which it was exported, and multiple times into a given Vulkan instance.

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_fence_fd
    typedef struct VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType                      sType;
        const void*                          pNext;
        VkFence                              fence;
        VkFenceImportFlags                   flags;
        VkExternalFenceHandleTypeFlagBits    handleType;
        int                                  fd;
    } VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR;

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

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

- `fence` is the fence into which the payload will be imported.

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkFenceImportFlagBits specifying additional parameters for the fence payload import operation.

- `handleType` is a VkExternalFenceHandleTypeFlagBits value specifying the type of `fd`.

- `fd` is the external handle to import.

The handle types supported by `handleType` are:

Table 7. Handle Types Supported by `VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR`
Handle Type | Transference | Permanence Supported
--- | --- | ---
`VK_EXTERNAL_FENCE_HANDLE_TYPE_OPAQUE_FD_BIT` | Reference | Temporary,Permanent
`VK_EXTERNAL_FENCE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT` | Copy | Temporary

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR-handleType-01464
  `handleType` must be a value included in the Handle Types Supported by `VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR` table

- VUID-VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR-fd-01541
  `fd` must obey any requirements listed for `handleType` in external fence handle types compatibility

- VUID-VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR-handleType-07306
  If `handleType` refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, `flags` must contain `VK_FENCE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT`

If `handleType` is `VK_EXTERNAL_FENCE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT`, the special value `-1` for `fd` is treated like a valid sync file descriptor referring to an object that has already signaled. The import operation will succeed and the `VkFence` will have a temporarily imported payload as if a valid file descriptor had been provided.

Note | This special behavior for importing an invalid sync file descriptor allows easier interoperability with other system APIs which use the convention that an invalid sync file descriptor represents work that has already completed and does not need to be waited for. It is consistent with the option for implementations to return a `-1` file descriptor when exporting a `VK_EXTERNAL_FENCE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT` from a `VkFence` which is signaled.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMPORT_FENCE_FD_INFO_KHR`

- VUID-VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR-handleType-parameter
  `handleType` must be a valid VkExternalFenceHandleTypeFlagBits value

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `fence` must be externally synchronized

Bits which can be set in

- VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR::`flags`

- VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR::`flags`

specifying additional parameters of a fence import operation are:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef enum VkFenceImportFlagBits {
        VK_FENCE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT = 0x00000001,
      // Provided by VK_KHR_external_fence
        VK_FENCE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT_KHR = VK_FENCE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT,
    } VkFenceImportFlagBits;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_fence
    typedef VkFenceImportFlagBits VkFenceImportFlagBitsKHR;

- `VK_FENCE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT` specifies that the fence payload will be imported only temporarily, as described in Importing Fence Payloads, regardless of the permanence of `handleType`.

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef VkFlags VkFenceImportFlags;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_fence
    typedef VkFenceImportFlags VkFenceImportFlagsKHR;

`VkFenceImportFlags` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkFenceImportFlagBits.

### 7.4. Semaphores

Semaphores are a synchronization primitive that can be used to insert a dependency between queue operations or between a queue operation and the host. Binary semaphores have two states - signaled and unsignaled. Timeline semaphores have a strictly increasing 64-bit unsigned integer payload and are signaled with respect to a particular reference value. A semaphore can be signaled after execution of a queue operation is completed, and a queue operation can wait for a semaphore to become signaled before it begins execution. A timeline semaphore can additionally be signaled from the host with the vkSignalSemaphore command and waited on from the host with the vkWaitSemaphores command.

The internal data of a semaphore may include a reference to any resources and pending work associated with signal or unsignal operations performed on that semaphore object, collectively referred to as the semaphore’s payload. Mechanisms to import and export that internal data to and from semaphores are provided below. These mechanisms indirectly enable applications to share semaphore state between two or more semaphores and other synchronization primitives across process and API boundaries.

Semaphores are represented by `VkSemaphore` handles:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkSemaphore)

To create a semaphore, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkCreateSemaphore(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkSemaphoreCreateInfo*                pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkSemaphore*                                pSemaphore);

- `device` is the logical device that creates the semaphore.

- `pCreateInfo` is a pointer to a VkSemaphoreCreateInfo structure containing information about how the semaphore is to be created.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

- `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE` specifies a timeline semaphore type that has a strictly increasing 64-bit unsigned integer payload indicating whether the semaphore is signaled with respect to a particular reference value. When created, the semaphore payload has the value given by the `initialValue` field of VkSemaphoreTypeCreateInfo.

To create a semaphore whose payload can be exported to external handles, add a VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkSemaphoreCreateInfo structure. The `VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef struct VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType                       sType;
        const void*                           pNext;
        VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlags    handleTypes;
    } VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_semaphore
    typedef VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfoKHR;

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

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

- `handleTypes` is a bitmask of VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits specifying one or more semaphore handle types the application can export from the resulting semaphore. The application can request multiple handle types for the same semaphore.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo-handleTypes-01124
  The bits in `handleTypes` must be supported and compatible, as reported by VkExternalSemaphoreProperties

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo-handleTypes-parameter
  `handleTypes` must be a valid combination of VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits values

To specify additional attributes of NT handles exported from a semaphore, add a `VkExportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR` structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkSemaphoreCreateInfo structure. The `VkExportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_semaphore_win32
    typedef struct VkExportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType               sType;
        const void*                   pNext;
        const SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES*    pAttributes;
        DWORD                         dwAccess;

    } VkExportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR;

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

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

- `pAttributes` is a pointer to a Windows `SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES` structure specifying security attributes of the handle.

- `dwAccess` is a `DWORD` specifying access rights of the handle.

- `name` is a null-terminated UTF-16 string to associate with the underlying synchronization primitive referenced by NT handles exported from the created semaphore.

If VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo is not included in the same `pNext` chain, this structure is ignored.

If VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo is included in the `pNext` chain of VkSemaphoreCreateInfo with a Windows `handleType`, but either `VkExportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR` is not included in the `pNext` chain, or it is included but `pAttributes` is `NULL`, default security descriptor values will be used, and child processes created by the application will not inherit the handle, as described in the MSDN documentation for “Synchronization Object Security and Access Rights”1. Further, if the structure is not present, the access rights used depend on the handle type.

For handles of the following types:

`VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_OPAQUE_WIN32_BIT`

The implementation must ensure the access rights allow both signal and wait operations on the semaphore.

For handles of the following types:

`VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_D3D12_FENCE_BIT`

The access rights must be:

`GENERIC_ALL`

- `pGetWin32HandleInfo` is a pointer to a VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR structure containing parameters of the export operation.

- `pHandle` will return the Windows handle representing the semaphore state.

For handle types defined as NT handles, the handles returned by `vkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR` are owned by the application. To avoid leaking resources, the application must release ownership of them using the `CloseHandle` system call when they are no longer needed.

Exporting a Windows handle from a semaphore may have side effects depending on the transference of the specified handle type, as described in Importing Semaphore Payloads.

Note | Ownership can be released in many ways. For example, the application can call `close`() on the file descriptor, or transfer ownership back to Vulkan by using the file descriptor to import a semaphore payload.

Where supported by the operating system, the implementation must set the file descriptor to be closed automatically when an `execve` system call is made.

Exporting a file descriptor from a semaphore may have side effects depending on the transference of the specified handle type, as described in Importing Semaphore State.

- `pGetZirconHandleInfo` is a pointer to a VkSemaphoreGetZirconHandleInfoFUCHSIA structure containing parameters of the export operation.

- `pZirconHandle` will return the Zircon event handle representing the semaphore payload.

Each call to `vkGetSemaphoreZirconHandleFUCHSIA` must create a Zircon event handle and transfer ownership of it to the application. To avoid leaking resources, the application must release ownership of the Zircon event handle when it is no longer needed.

Note | Ownership can be released in many ways. For example, the application can call zx_handle_close() on the file descriptor, or transfer ownership back to Vulkan by using the file descriptor to import a semaphore payload.

Exporting a Zircon event handle from a semaphore may have side effects depending on the transference of the specified handle type, as described in Importing Semaphore State.

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `semaphore` must be externally synchronized

#### 7.4.1. Semaphore Signaling

When a batch is submitted to a queue via a queue submission, and it includes semaphores to be signaled, it defines a memory dependency on the batch, and defines semaphore signal operations which set the semaphores to the signaled state.

In case of semaphores created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE` the semaphore is considered signaled with respect to the counter value set to be signaled as specified in VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo or VkSemaphoreSignalInfo.

The first synchronization scope includes every command submitted in the same batch. In the case of vkQueueSubmit2, the first synchronization scope is limited to the pipeline stage specified by VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo::`stageMask`. Semaphore signal operations that are defined by vkQueueSubmit or vkQueueSubmit2 additionally include all commands that occur earlier in submission order. Semaphore signal operations that are defined by vkQueueSubmit or vkQueueSubmit2 or vkQueueBindSparse additionally include in the first synchronization scope any semaphore and fence signal operations that occur earlier in signal operation order.

The second synchronization scope includes only the semaphore signal operation.

The first access scope includes all memory access performed by the device.

The second access scope is empty.

#### 7.4.2. Semaphore Waiting

When a batch is submitted to a queue via a queue submission, and it includes semaphores to be waited on, it defines a memory dependency between prior semaphore signal operations and the batch, and defines semaphore wait operations.

Such semaphore wait operations set the semaphores created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_BINARY` to the unsignaled state. In case of semaphores created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE` a prior semaphore signal operation defines a memory dependency with a semaphore wait operation if the value the semaphore is signaled with is greater than or equal to the value the semaphore is waited with, thus the semaphore will continue to be considered signaled with respect to the counter value waited on as specified in VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo.

The first synchronization scope includes one semaphore signal operation for each semaphore waited on by this batch. The specific signal operation waited on for each semaphore must meet the following criteria:

- for binary semaphores, the signal operation is either earlier in submission order on the same queue, or is submitted by a command whose host operation happens-before this batch is submitted on the host

- for binary semaphores, no wait operation exists that happens-after the signal operation and happens-before this wait operation

- the signal operation is not guaranteed to happen-after the semaphore wait operation in this batch

- for timeline semaphores, the signal value is greater than or equal to the wait value

If multiple semaphore signal operations meet these criteria, any of those operations may be included in the first synchronization scope. When waiting on a binary semaphore, applications must ensure that exactly one semaphore signal operation meets these criteria.

The second synchronization scope includes every command submitted in the same batch. In the case of vkQueueSubmit, the second synchronization scope is limited to operations on the pipeline stages determined by the destination stage mask specified by the corresponding element of `pWaitDstStageMask`. In the case of vkQueueSubmit2, the second synchronization scope is limited to the pipeline stage specified by VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo::`stageMask`. Also, in the case of either vkQueueSubmit2 or vkQueueSubmit, the second synchronization scope additionally includes all commands that occur later in submission order.

The first access scope is empty.

The second access scope includes all memory access performed by the device.

The semaphore wait operation happens-after the first set of operations in the execution dependency, and happens-before the second set of operations in the execution dependency.

Note | Unlike timeline semaphores, fences or events, waiting for a binary semaphore also unsignals that semaphore when the wait completes. Applications must ensure that between two such wait operations, the semaphore is signaled again, with execution dependencies used to ensure these occur in order. Binary semaphore waits and signals should thus occur in discrete 1:1 pairs.

Note | A common scenario for using `pWaitDstStageMask` with values other than `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_ALL_COMMANDS_BIT` is when synchronizing a window system presentation operation against subsequent command buffers which render the next frame. In this case, a presentation image must not be overwritten until the presentation operation completes, but other pipeline stages can execute without waiting. A mask of `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OUTPUT_BIT` prevents subsequent color attachment writes from executing until the semaphore signals. Some implementations may be able to execute transfer operations and/or pre-rasterization work before the semaphore is signaled. If an image layout transition needs to be performed on a presentable image before it is used in a framebuffer, that can be performed as the first operation submitted to the queue after acquiring the image, and should not prevent other work from overlapping with the presentation operation. For example, a `VkImageMemoryBarrier` could use: `srcStageMask` = `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OUTPUT_BIT` `srcAccessMask` = 0 `dstStageMask` = `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OUTPUT_BIT` `dstAccessMask` = `VK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_READ_BIT` | `VK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_WRITE_BIT`. `oldLayout` = `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PRESENT_SRC_KHR` `newLayout` = `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL` Alternatively, `oldLayout` can be `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED`, if the image’s contents need not be preserved. This barrier accomplishes a dependency chain between previous presentation operations and subsequent color attachment output operations, with the layout transition performed in between, and does not introduce a dependency between previous work and any pre-rasterization shader stages. More precisely, the semaphore signals after the presentation operation completes, the semaphore wait stalls the `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OUTPUT_BIT` stage, and there is a dependency from that same stage to itself with the layout transition performed in between.

#### 7.4.3. Semaphore State Requirements for Wait Operations

Before waiting on a semaphore, the application must ensure the semaphore is in a valid state for a wait operation. Specifically, when a semaphore wait operation is submitted to a queue:

- A binary semaphore must be signaled, or have an associated semaphore signal operation that is pending execution.

- Any semaphore signal operations on which the pending binary semaphore signal operation depends must also be completed or pending execution.

- There must be no other queue waiting on the same binary semaphore when the operation executes.

#### 7.4.4. Host Operations on Semaphores

In addition to semaphore signal operations and semaphore wait operations submitted to device queues, timeline semaphores support the following host operations:

- Query the current counter value of the semaphore using the vkGetSemaphoreCounterValue command.

- Wait for a set of semaphores to reach particular counter values using the vkWaitSemaphores command.

- Signal the semaphore with a particular counter value from the host using the vkSignalSemaphore command.

To query the current counter value of a semaphore created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE` from the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
    VkResult vkGetSemaphoreCounterValue(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkSemaphore                                 semaphore,
        uint64_t*                                   pValue);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore
    VkResult vkGetSemaphoreCounterValueKHR(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkSemaphore                                 semaphore,
        uint64_t*                                   pValue);

- `device` is the logical device that owns the semaphore.

- `semaphore` is the handle of the semaphore to query.

- `pValue` is a pointer to a 64-bit integer value in which the current counter value of the semaphore is returned.

Note | If a queue submission command is pending execution, then the value returned by this command may immediately be out of date.

To wait for a set of semaphores created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE` to reach particular counter values on the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
    VkResult vkWaitSemaphores(
        VkDevice                                    device,

    // Provided by VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore
    VkResult vkWaitSemaphoresKHR(

        const VkSemaphoreWaitInfo*                  pWaitInfo,

- `device` is the logical device that owns the semaphores.

- `pWaitInfo` is a pointer to a VkSemaphoreWaitInfo structure containing information about the wait condition.

- `timeout` is the timeout period in units of nanoseconds. `timeout` is adjusted to the closest value allowed by the implementation-dependent timeout accuracy, which may be substantially longer than one nanosecond, and may be longer than the requested period.

If the condition is satisfied when `vkWaitSemaphores` is called, then `vkWaitSemaphores` returns immediately. If the condition is not satisfied at the time `vkWaitSemaphores` is called, then `vkWaitSemaphores` will block and wait until the condition is satisfied or the `timeout` has expired, whichever is sooner.

If `timeout` is zero, then `vkWaitSemaphores` does not wait, but simply returns information about the current state of the semaphores. `VK_TIMEOUT` will be returned in this case if the condition is not satisfied, even though no actual wait was performed.

If the condition is satisfied before the `timeout` has expired, `vkWaitSemaphores` returns `VK_SUCCESS`. Otherwise, `vkWaitSemaphores` returns `VK_TIMEOUT` after the `timeout` has expired.

If device loss occurs (see Lost Device) before the timeout has expired, `vkWaitSemaphores` must return in finite time with either `VK_SUCCESS` or `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`.

#### 7.4.5. Importing Semaphore Payloads

Applications can import a semaphore payload into an existing semaphore using an external semaphore handle. The effects of the import operation will be either temporary or permanent, as specified by the application. If the import is temporary, the implementation must restore the semaphore to its prior permanent state after submitting the next semaphore wait operation. Performing a subsequent temporary import on a semaphore before performing a semaphore wait has no effect on this requirement; the next wait submitted on the semaphore must still restore its last permanent state. A permanent payload import behaves as if the target semaphore was destroyed, and a new semaphore was created with the same handle but the imported payload. Because importing a semaphore payload temporarily or permanently detaches the existing payload from a semaphore, similar usage restrictions to those applied to `vkDestroySemaphore` are applied to any command that imports a semaphore payload. Which of these import types is used is referred to as the import operation’s permanence. Each handle type supports either one or both types of permanence.

The implementation must perform the import operation by either referencing or copying the payload referred to by the specified external semaphore handle, depending on the handle’s type. The import method used is referred to as the handle type’s transference. When using handle types with reference transference, importing a payload to a semaphore adds the semaphore to the set of all semaphores sharing that payload. This set includes the semaphore from which the payload was exported. Semaphore signaling and waiting operations performed on any semaphore in the set must behave as if the set were a single semaphore. Importing a payload using handle types with copy transference creates a duplicate copy of the payload at the time of import, but makes no further reference to it. Semaphore signaling and waiting operations performed on the target of copy imports must not affect any other semaphore or payload.

Export operations have the same transference as the specified handle type’s import operations. Additionally, exporting a semaphore payload to a handle with copy transference has the same side effects on the source semaphore’s payload as executing a semaphore wait operation. If the semaphore was using a temporarily imported payload, the semaphore’s prior permanent payload will be restored.

Note | The permanence and transference of handle types can be found in: Handle Types Supported by `VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR` Handle Types Supported by `VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR` Handle Types Supported by `VkImportSemaphoreZirconHandleInfoFUCHSIA`

External synchronization allows implementations to modify an object’s internal state, i.e. payload, without internal synchronization. However, for semaphores sharing a payload across processes, satisfying the external synchronization requirements of `VkSemaphore` parameters as if all semaphores in the set were the same object is sometimes infeasible. Satisfying the wait operation state requirements would similarly require impractical coordination or levels of trust between processes. Therefore, these constraints only apply to a specific semaphore handle, not to its payload. For distinct semaphore objects which share a payload, if the semaphores are passed to separate queue submission commands concurrently, behavior will be as if the commands were called in an arbitrary sequential order. If the wait operation state requirements are violated for the shared payload by a queue submission command, or if a signal operation is queued for a shared payload that is already signaled or has a pending signal operation, effects must be limited to one or more of the following:

- Returning `VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED` from the command which resulted in the violation.

- Losing the logical device on which the violation occurred immediately or at a future time, resulting in a `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST` error from subsequent commands, including the one causing the violation.

- Continuing execution of the violating command or operation as if the semaphore wait completed successfully after an implementation-dependent timeout. In this case, the state of the payload becomes undefined, and future operations on semaphores sharing the payload will be subject to these same rules. The semaphore must be destroyed or have its payload replaced by an import operation to again have a well-defined state.

Note | These rules allow processes to synchronize access to shared memory without trusting each other. However, such processes must still be cautious not to use the shared semaphore for more than synchronizing access to the shared memory. For example, a process should not use a shared semaphore as part of an execution dependency chain that, when complete, leads to objects being destroyed, if it does not trust other processes sharing the semaphore payload.

When a semaphore is using an imported payload, its VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo::`handleTypes` value is specified when creating the semaphore from which the payload was exported, rather than specified when creating the semaphore. Additionally, VkExternalSemaphoreProperties::`exportFromImportedHandleTypes` restricts which handle types can be exported from such a semaphore based on the specific handle type used to import the current payload. Passing a semaphore to vkAcquireNextImageKHR is equivalent to temporarily importing a semaphore payload to that semaphore.

Note | Because the exportable handle types of an imported semaphore correspond to its current imported payload, and vkAcquireNextImageKHR behaves the same as a temporary import operation for which the source semaphore is opaque to the application, applications have no way of determining whether any external handle types can be exported from a semaphore in this state. Therefore, applications must not attempt to export external handles from semaphores using a temporarily imported payload from vkAcquireNextImageKHR.

When importing a semaphore payload, it is the responsibility of the application to ensure the external handles meet all valid usage requirements. However, implementations must perform sufficient validation of external handles to ensure that the operation results in a valid semaphore which will not cause program termination, device loss, queue stalls, or corruption of other resources when used as allowed according to its import parameters, and excepting those side effects allowed for violations of the valid semaphore state for wait operations rules. If the external handle provided does not meet these requirements, the implementation must fail the semaphore payload import operation with the error code `VK_ERROR_INVALID_EXTERNAL_HANDLE`.

In addition, when importing a semaphore payload that is not compatible with the payload type corresponding to the VkSemaphoreType the semaphore was created with, the implementation may fail the semaphore payload import operation with the error code `VK_ERROR_INVALID_EXTERNAL_HANDLE`.

Note | As the introduction of the external semaphore handle type `VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_D3D12_FENCE_BIT` predates that of timeline semaphores, support for importing semaphore payloads from external handles of that type into semaphores created (implicitly or explicitly) with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_BINARY` is preserved for backwards compatibility. However, applications should prefer importing such handle types into semaphores created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE`.

To import a semaphore payload from a Windows handle, call:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_semaphore_win32
    VkResult vkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR*  pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo);

- `device` is the logical device that created the semaphore.

- `pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo` is a pointer to a VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR structure specifying the semaphore and import parameters.

Importing a semaphore payload from Windows handles does not transfer ownership of the handle to the Vulkan implementation. For handle types defined as NT handles, the application must release ownership using the `CloseHandle` system call when the handle is no longer needed.

Applications can import the same semaphore payload into multiple instances of Vulkan, into the same instance from which it was exported, and multiple times into a given Vulkan instance.

If `handleType` is `VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT`, the special value `-1` for `fd` is treated like a valid sync file descriptor referring to an object that has already signaled. The import operation will succeed and the `VkSemaphore` will have a temporarily imported payload as if a valid file descriptor had been provided.

Note | This special behavior for importing an invalid sync file descriptor allows easier interoperability with other system APIs which use the convention that an invalid sync file descriptor represents work that has already completed and does not need to be waited for. It is consistent with the option for implementations to return a `-1` file descriptor when exporting a `VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT` from a `VkSemaphore` which is signaled.

### 7.5. Events

Events are a synchronization primitive that can be used to insert a fine-grained dependency between commands submitted to the same queue, or between the host and a queue. Events must not be used to insert a dependency between commands submitted to different queues. Events have two states - signaled and unsignaled. An application can signal or unsignal an event either on the host or on the device. A device can be made to wait for an event to become signaled before executing further operations. No command exists to wait for an event to become signaled on the host, but the current state of an event can be queried.

Events are represented by `VkEvent` handles:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkEvent)

To create an event, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkCreateEvent(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkEventCreateInfo*                    pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkEvent*                                    pEvent);

- `device` is the logical device that creates the event.

- `pCreateInfo` is a pointer to a VkEventCreateInfo structure containing information about how the event is to be created.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

- `pEvent` is a pointer to a handle in which the resulting event object is returned.

When created, the event object is in the unsignaled state.

`VK_EVENT_RESET` | The event specified by `event` is unsignaled.

If a `vkCmdSetEvent` or `vkCmdResetEvent` command is in a command buffer that is in the pending state, then the value returned by this command may immediately be out of date.

The state of an event can be updated by the host. The state of the event is immediately changed, and subsequent calls to `vkGetEventStatus` will return the new state. If an event is already in the requested state, then updating it to the same state has no effect.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkGetEventStatus-event-03940
  `event` must not have been created with `VK_EVENT_CREATE_DEVICE_ONLY_BIT`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetEventStatus-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkGetEventStatus-event-parameter
  `event` must be a valid VkEvent handle

- VUID-vkGetEventStatus-event-parent
  `event` must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`

Return Codes

Success

  - `VK_EVENT_SET`

  - `VK_EVENT_RESET`

Failure

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`

To set the state of an event to signaled from the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkSetEvent(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkEvent                                     event);

- `device` is the logical device that owns the event.

- `event` is the event to set.

When vkSetEvent is executed on the host, it defines an event signal operation which sets the event to the signaled state.

If `event` is already in the signaled state when vkSetEvent is executed, then vkSetEvent has no effect, and no event signal operation occurs.

Note | If a command buffer is waiting for an event to be signaled from the host, the application must signal the event before submitting the command buffer, as described in the queue forward progress section.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkSetEvent-event-03941
  `event` must not have been created with `VK_EVENT_CREATE_DEVICE_ONLY_BIT`

- VUID-vkSetEvent-event-09543

- VUID-vkSetEvent-event-parameter
  `event` must be a valid VkEvent handle

- VUID-vkSetEvent-event-parent
  `event` must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `event` must be externally synchronized

Return Codes

Success

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

Failure

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`

To set the state of an event to unsignaled from the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkResetEvent(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkEvent                                     event);

- `device` is the logical device that owns the event.

- `event` is the event to reset.

When vkResetEvent is executed on the host, it defines an event unsignal operation which resets the event to the unsignaled state.

If `event` is already in the unsignaled state when vkResetEvent is executed, then vkResetEvent has no effect, and no event unsignal operation occurs.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkResetEvent-event-03821
  There must be an execution dependency between `vkResetEvent` and the execution of any vkCmdWaitEvents that includes `event` in its `pEvents` parameter

- VUID-vkResetEvent-event-03822
  There must be an execution dependency between `vkResetEvent` and the execution of any vkCmdWaitEvents2 that includes `event` in its `pEvents` parameter

Return Codes

Success

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

Failure

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`

The state of an event can also be updated on the device by commands inserted in command buffers.

To signal an event from a device, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    void vkCmdSetEvent2(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        VkEvent                                     event,
        const VkDependencyInfo*                     pDependencyInfo);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    void vkCmdSetEvent2KHR(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        VkEvent                                     event,
        const VkDependencyInfo*                     pDependencyInfo);

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

- `event` is the event that will be signaled.

- `pDependencyInfo` is a pointer to a VkDependencyInfo structure defining the first scopes of this operation.

When vkCmdSetEvent2 is submitted to a queue, it defines the first half of memory dependencies defined by `pDependencyInfo`, as well as an event signal operation which sets the event to the signaled state. A memory dependency is defined between the event signal operation and commands that occur earlier in submission order.

The first synchronization scope and access scope are defined by the union of all the memory dependencies defined by `pDependencyInfo`, and are applied to all operations that occur earlier in submission order. Queue family ownership transfers and image layout transitions defined by `pDependencyInfo` are also included in the first scopes.

The second synchronization scope includes only the event signal operation, and any queue family ownership transfers and image layout transitions defined by `pDependencyInfo`.

The second access scope includes only queue family ownership transfers and image layout transitions.

Future vkCmdWaitEvents2 commands rely on all values of each element in `pDependencyInfo` matching exactly with those used to signal the corresponding event. vkCmdWaitEvents must not be used to wait on the result of a signal operation defined by `vkCmdSetEvent2`.

Note | The extra information provided by vkCmdSetEvent2 compared to vkCmdSetEvent allows implementations to more efficiently schedule the operations required to satisfy the requested dependencies. With vkCmdSetEvent, the full dependency information is not known until vkCmdWaitEvents is recorded, forcing implementations to insert the required operations at that point and not before.

If `event` is already in the signaled state when vkCmdSetEvent2 is executed on the device, then vkCmdSetEvent2 has no effect, no event signal operation occurs, and no dependency is generated.

To wait for one or more events to enter the signaled state on a device, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    void vkCmdWaitEvents2(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        uint32_t                                    eventCount,
        const VkEvent*                              pEvents,
        const VkDependencyInfo*                     pDependencyInfos);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    void vkCmdWaitEvents2KHR(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        uint32_t                                    eventCount,
        const VkEvent*                              pEvents,
        const VkDependencyInfo*                     pDependencyInfos);

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

- `eventCount` is the length of the `pEvents` array.

- `pEvents` is a pointer to an array of `eventCount` events to wait on.

- `pDependencyInfos` is a pointer to an array of `eventCount` VkDependencyInfo structures, defining the second synchronization scope.

When `vkCmdWaitEvents2` is submitted to a queue, it inserts memory dependencies according to the elements of `pDependencyInfos` and each corresponding element of `pEvents`. `vkCmdWaitEvents2` must not be used to wait on event signal operations occurring on other queues, or signal operations executed by vkCmdSetEvent.

The first synchronization scope and access scope of each memory dependency defined by any element i of `pDependencyInfos` are applied to operations that occurred earlier in submission order than the last event signal operation on element i of `pEvents`.

Signal operations for an event at index i are only included if:

- The event was signaled by a vkCmdSetEvent2 command that occurred earlier in submission order with a `dependencyInfo` parameter exactly equal to the element of `pDependencyInfos` at index i ; or

- The event was created without `VK_EVENT_CREATE_DEVICE_ONLY_BIT`, and the first synchronization scope defined by the element of `pDependencyInfos` at index i only includes host operations (`VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_HOST_BIT`).

The second synchronization scope and access scope of each memory dependency defined by any element i of `pDependencyInfos` are applied to operations that occurred later in submission order than `vkCmdWaitEvents2`.

Note | vkCmdWaitEvents2 is used with vkCmdSetEvent2 to define a memory dependency between two sets of action commands, roughly in the same way as pipeline barriers, but split into two commands such that work between the two may execute unhindered.

Note | Applications should be careful to avoid race conditions when using events. There is no direct ordering guarantee between `vkCmdSetEvent2` and vkCmdResetEvent2, vkCmdResetEvent, or vkCmdSetEvent. Another execution dependency (e.g. a pipeline barrier or semaphore with `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_ALL_COMMANDS_BIT`) is needed to prevent such a race condition.

To wait for one or more events to enter the signaled state on a device, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    void vkCmdWaitEvents(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        uint32_t                                    eventCount,

        const VkImageMemoryBarrier*                 pImageMemoryBarriers);

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

- `eventCount` is the length of the `pEvents` array.

- `pEvents` is a pointer to an array of event object handles to wait on.

- `srcStageMask` is a bitmask of VkPipelineStageFlagBits specifying the source stage mask.

- `dstStageMask` is a bitmask of VkPipelineStageFlagBits specifying the destination stage mask.

- `memoryBarrierCount` is the length of the `pMemoryBarriers` array.

- `bufferMemoryBarrierCount` is the length of the `pBufferMemoryBarriers` array.

- `pBufferMemoryBarriers` is a pointer to an array of VkBufferMemoryBarrier structures.

`vkCmdWaitEvents` is largely similar to vkCmdWaitEvents2, but can only wait on signal operations defined by vkCmdSetEvent. As vkCmdSetEvent does not define any access scopes, `vkCmdWaitEvents` defines the first access scope for each event signal operation in addition to its own access scopes.

Note | Since vkCmdSetEvent does not have any dependency information beyond a stage mask, implementations do not have the same opportunity to perform availability and visibility operations or image layout transitions in advance as they do with vkCmdSetEvent2 and vkCmdWaitEvents2.

When `vkCmdWaitEvents` is submitted to a queue, it defines a memory dependency between prior event signal operations on the same queue or the host, and subsequent commands. `vkCmdWaitEvents` must not be used to wait on event signal operations occurring on other queues.

The first synchronization scope only includes event signal operations that operate on members of `pEvents`, and the operations that happened-before the event signal operations. Event signal operations performed by vkCmdSetEvent that occur earlier in submission order are included in the first synchronization scope, if the logically latest pipeline stage in their `stageMask` parameter is logically earlier than or equal to the logically latest pipeline stage in `srcStageMask`. Event signal operations performed by vkSetEvent are only included in the first synchronization scope if `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_HOST_BIT` is included in `srcStageMask`.

The second synchronization scope includes all commands that occur later in submission order. The second synchronization scope is limited to operations on the pipeline stages determined by the destination stage mask specified by `dstStageMask`.

The first access scope is limited to accesses in the pipeline stages determined by the source stage mask specified by `srcStageMask`. Within that, the first access scope only includes the first access scopes defined by elements of the `pMemoryBarriers`, `pBufferMemoryBarriers` and `pImageMemoryBarriers` arrays, which each define a set of memory barriers. If no memory barriers are specified, then the first access scope includes no accesses.

The second access scope is limited to accesses in the pipeline stages determined by the destination stage mask specified by `dstStageMask`. Within that, the second access scope only includes the second access scopes defined by elements of the `pMemoryBarriers`, `pBufferMemoryBarriers` and `pImageMemoryBarriers` arrays, which each define a set of memory barriers. If no memory barriers are specified, then the second access scope includes no accesses.

### 7.6. Pipeline Barriers

To record a pipeline barrier, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    void vkCmdPipelineBarrier2(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkDependencyInfo*                     pDependencyInfo);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    void vkCmdPipelineBarrier2KHR(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkDependencyInfo*                     pDependencyInfo);

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

- `pDependencyInfo` is a pointer to a VkDependencyInfo structure defining the scopes of this operation.

When vkCmdPipelineBarrier2 is submitted to a queue, it defines memory dependencies between commands that were submitted to the same queue before it, and those submitted to the same queue after it.

The first synchronization scope and access scope of each memory dependency defined by `pDependencyInfo` are applied to operations that occurred earlier in submission order.

The second synchronization scope and access scope of each memory dependency defined by `pDependencyInfo` are applied to operations that occurred later in submission order.

If `vkCmdPipelineBarrier2` is recorded within a render pass instance, the synchronization scopes are limited to a subset of operations within the same subpass or render pass instance.

To record a pipeline barrier, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    void vkCmdPipelineBarrier(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        VkPipelineStageFlags                        srcStageMask,
        VkPipelineStageFlags                        dstStageMask,

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

- `srcStageMask` is a bitmask of VkPipelineStageFlagBits specifying the source stages.

- `dstStageMask` is a bitmask of VkPipelineStageFlagBits specifying the destination stages.

- `dependencyFlags` is a bitmask of VkDependencyFlagBits specifying how execution and memory dependencies are formed.

- `memoryBarrierCount` is the length of the `pMemoryBarriers` array.

- `pMemoryBarriers` is a pointer to an array of VkMemoryBarrier structures.

- `bufferMemoryBarrierCount` is the length of the `pBufferMemoryBarriers` array.

- `pBufferMemoryBarriers` is a pointer to an array of VkBufferMemoryBarrier structures.

- `imageMemoryBarrierCount` is the length of the `pImageMemoryBarriers` array.

- `pImageMemoryBarriers` is a pointer to an array of VkImageMemoryBarrier structures.

`vkCmdPipelineBarrier` operates almost identically to vkCmdPipelineBarrier2, except that the scopes and barriers are defined as direct parameters rather than being defined by a VkDependencyInfo.

When vkCmdPipelineBarrier is submitted to a queue, it defines a memory dependency between commands that were submitted to the same queue before it, and those submitted to the same queue after it.

If vkCmdPipelineBarrier was recorded outside a render pass instance, the first synchronization scope includes all commands that occur earlier in submission order. If vkCmdPipelineBarrier was recorded inside a render pass instance, the first synchronization scope includes only commands that occur earlier in submission order within the same subpass. In either case, the first synchronization scope is limited to operations on the pipeline stages determined by the source stage mask specified by `srcStageMask`.

If vkCmdPipelineBarrier was recorded outside a render pass instance, the second synchronization scope includes all commands that occur later in submission order. If vkCmdPipelineBarrier was recorded inside a render pass instance, the second synchronization scope includes only commands that occur later in submission order within the same subpass. In either case, the second synchronization scope is limited to operations on the pipeline stages determined by the destination stage mask specified by `dstStageMask`.

The first access scope is limited to accesses in the pipeline stages determined by the source stage mask specified by `srcStageMask`. Within that, the first access scope only includes the first access scopes defined by elements of the `pMemoryBarriers`, `pBufferMemoryBarriers` and `pImageMemoryBarriers` arrays, which each define a set of memory barriers. If no memory barriers are specified, then the first access scope includes no accesses.

The second access scope is limited to accesses in the pipeline stages determined by the destination stage mask specified by `dstStageMask`. Within that, the second access scope only includes the second access scopes defined by elements of the `pMemoryBarriers`, `pBufferMemoryBarriers` and `pImageMemoryBarriers` arrays, which each define a set of memory barriers. If no memory barriers are specified, then the second access scope includes no accesses.

If `dependencyFlags` includes `VK_DEPENDENCY_BY_REGION_BIT`, then any dependency between framebuffer-space pipeline stages is framebuffer-local - otherwise it is framebuffer-global.

    typedef VkFlags VkDependencyFlags;

`VkDependencyFlags` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkDependencyFlagBits.

### 7.7. Memory Barriers

Memory barriers are used to explicitly control access to buffer and image subresource ranges. Memory barriers are used to transfer ownership between queue families, change image layouts, and define availability and visibility operations. They explicitly define the access types and buffer and image subresource ranges that are included in the access scopes of a memory dependency that is created by a synchronization command that includes them.

#### 7.7.1. Global Memory Barriers

Global memory barriers apply to memory accesses involving all memory objects that exist at the time of its execution.

The `VkMemoryBarrier2` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkMemoryBarrier2 {
        VkStructureType          sType;
        const void*              pNext;
        VkPipelineStageFlags2    srcStageMask;
        VkAccessFlags2           srcAccessMask;
        VkPipelineStageFlags2    dstStageMask;
        VkAccessFlags2           dstAccessMask;
    } VkMemoryBarrier2;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    typedef VkMemoryBarrier2 VkMemoryBarrier2KHR;

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

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

- `srcStageMask` is a VkPipelineStageFlags2 mask of pipeline stages to be included in the first synchronization scope.

- `srcAccessMask` is a VkAccessFlags2 mask of access flags to be included in the first access scope.

- `dstStageMask` is a VkPipelineStageFlags2 mask of pipeline stages to be included in the second synchronization scope.

- `dstAccessMask` is a VkAccessFlags2 mask of access flags to be included in the second access scope.

This structure defines a memory dependency affecting all device memory.

The first synchronization scope and access scope described by this structure include only operations and memory accesses specified by the source stage mask and source access mask.

The second synchronization scope and access scope described by this structure include only operations and memory accesses specified by destination stage mask and destination access mask.

#### 7.7.2. Buffer Memory Barriers

Buffer memory barriers only apply to memory accesses involving a specific buffer range. That is, a memory dependency formed from a buffer memory barrier is scoped to access via the specified buffer range. Buffer memory barriers can also be used to define a queue family ownership transfer for the specified buffer range.

The `VkBufferMemoryBarrier2` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkBufferMemoryBarrier2 {
        VkStructureType          sType;
        const void*              pNext;
        VkPipelineStageFlags2    srcStageMask;
        VkAccessFlags2           srcAccessMask;
        VkPipelineStageFlags2    dstStageMask;
        VkAccessFlags2           dstAccessMask;
        uint32_t                 srcQueueFamilyIndex;
        uint32_t                 dstQueueFamilyIndex;
        VkBuffer                 buffer;
        VkDeviceSize             offset;
        VkDeviceSize             size;
    } VkBufferMemoryBarrier2;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    typedef VkBufferMemoryBarrier2 VkBufferMemoryBarrier2KHR;

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

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

- `srcStageMask` is a VkPipelineStageFlags2 mask of pipeline stages to be included in the first synchronization scope.

- `srcAccessMask` is a VkAccessFlags2 mask of access flags to be included in the first access scope.

- `dstStageMask` is a VkPipelineStageFlags2 mask of pipeline stages to be included in the second synchronization scope.

- `dstAccessMask` is a VkAccessFlags2 mask of access flags to be included in the second access scope.

- `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is the source queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is the destination queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `buffer` is a handle to the buffer whose backing memory is affected by the barrier.

- `offset` is an offset in bytes into the backing memory for `buffer`; this is relative to the base offset as bound to the buffer (see vkBindBufferMemory).

- `size` is a size in bytes of the affected area of backing memory for `buffer`, or `VK_WHOLE_SIZE` to use the range from `offset` to the end of the buffer.

This structure defines a memory dependency limited to a range of a buffer, and can define a queue family ownership transfer operation for that range.

The first synchronization scope and access scope described by this structure include only operations and memory accesses specified by the source stage mask and the source access mask.

The second synchronization scope and access scope described by this structure include only operations and memory accesses specified by the destination stage mask and the destination access mask.

Both access scopes are limited to only memory accesses to `buffer` in the range defined by `offset` and `size`.

If `buffer` was created with `VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE`, and `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is not equal to `dstQueueFamilyIndex`, this memory barrier defines a queue family ownership transfer operation. When executed on a queue in the family identified by `srcQueueFamilyIndex`, this barrier defines a queue family release operation for the specified buffer range, and if VkDependencyInfoKHR::`dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the second synchronization scope does not apply to this operation. When executed on a queue in the family identified by `dstQueueFamilyIndex`, this barrier defines a queue family acquire operation for the specified buffer range, and if VkDependencyInfoKHR::`dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the first synchronization scope does not apply to this operation.

A queue family ownership transfer operation is also defined if the values are not equal, and either is one of the special queue family values reserved for external memory ownership transfers, as described in Queue Family Ownership Transfer. A queue family release operation is defined when `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is one of those values, and a queue family acquire operation is defined when `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is one of those values.

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

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

- `srcAccessMask` is a bitmask of VkAccessFlagBits specifying a source access mask.

- `dstAccessMask` is a bitmask of VkAccessFlagBits specifying a destination access mask.

- `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is the source queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is the destination queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `buffer` is a handle to the buffer whose backing memory is affected by the barrier.

- `offset` is an offset in bytes into the backing memory for `buffer`; this is relative to the base offset as bound to the buffer (see vkBindBufferMemory).

- `size` is a size in bytes of the affected area of backing memory for `buffer`, or `VK_WHOLE_SIZE` to use the range from `offset` to the end of the buffer.

The first access scope is limited to access to memory through the specified buffer range, via access types in the source access mask specified by `srcAccessMask` and, if a VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR is passed in `pNext`, `srcAccessMask3`. If the source access mask includes `VK_ACCESS_HOST_WRITE_BIT`, a memory domain operation is performed where available memory in the host domain is also made available to the device domain.

The second access scope is limited to access to memory through the specified buffer range, via access types in the destination access mask specified by `dstAccessMask` and, if a VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR is passed in `pNext`, `dstAccessMask3`. If the destination access mask includes `VK_ACCESS_HOST_WRITE_BIT` or `VK_ACCESS_HOST_READ_BIT`, a memory domain operation is performed where available memory in the device domain is also made available to the host domain.

Note | When `VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT` is used, available memory in host domain is automatically made visible to host domain, and any host write is automatically made available to host domain.

If `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is not equal to `dstQueueFamilyIndex`, and `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is equal to the current queue family, then the memory barrier defines a queue family release operation for the specified buffer range, and if `dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the second synchronization scope of the calling command does not apply to this operation.

If `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is not equal to `srcQueueFamilyIndex`, and `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is equal to the current queue family, then the memory barrier defines a queue family acquire operation for the specified buffer range, and if `dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the first synchronization scope of the calling command does not apply to this operation.

#### 7.7.3. Image Memory Barriers

Image memory barriers only apply to memory accesses involving a specific image subresource range. That is, a memory dependency formed from an image memory barrier is scoped to access via the specified image subresource range. Image memory barriers can also be used to define image layout transitions or a queue family ownership transfer for the specified image subresource range.

The `VkImageMemoryBarrier2` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkImageMemoryBarrier2 {
        VkStructureType            sType;
        const void*                pNext;
        VkPipelineStageFlags2      srcStageMask;
        VkAccessFlags2             srcAccessMask;
        VkPipelineStageFlags2      dstStageMask;
        VkAccessFlags2             dstAccessMask;
        VkImageLayout              oldLayout;
        VkImageLayout              newLayout;
        uint32_t                   srcQueueFamilyIndex;
        uint32_t                   dstQueueFamilyIndex;
        VkImage                    image;
        VkImageSubresourceRange    subresourceRange;
    } VkImageMemoryBarrier2;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    typedef VkImageMemoryBarrier2 VkImageMemoryBarrier2KHR;

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

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

- `srcStageMask` is a VkPipelineStageFlags2 mask of pipeline stages to be included in the first synchronization scope.

- `srcAccessMask` is a VkAccessFlags2 mask of access flags to be included in the first access scope.

- `dstStageMask` is a VkPipelineStageFlags2 mask of pipeline stages to be included in the second synchronization scope.

- `dstAccessMask` is a VkAccessFlags2 mask of access flags to be included in the second access scope.

- `oldLayout` is the old layout in an image layout transition.

- `newLayout` is the new layout in an image layout transition.

- `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is the source queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is the destination queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `image` is a handle to the image affected by this barrier.

- `subresourceRange` describes the image subresource range within `image` that is affected by this barrier.

This structure defines a memory dependency limited to an image subresource range, and can define a queue family ownership transfer operation and image layout transition for that subresource range.

The first synchronization scope and access scope described by this structure include only operations and memory accesses specified by the source stage mask and the source access mask.

The second synchronization scope and access scope described by this structure include only operations and memory accesses specified by the destination stage mask and the destination access mask.

Both access scopes are limited to only memory accesses to `image` in the subresource range defined by `subresourceRange`.

If `image` was created with `VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE`, and `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is not equal to `dstQueueFamilyIndex`, this memory barrier defines a queue family ownership transfer operation. When executed on a queue in the family identified by `srcQueueFamilyIndex`, this barrier defines a queue family release operation for the specified image subresource range, and if VkDependencyInfoKHR::`dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the second synchronization scope does not apply to this operation. When executed on a queue in the family identified by `dstQueueFamilyIndex`, this barrier defines a queue family acquire operation for the specified image subresource range, and if VkDependencyInfoKHR::`dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the first synchronization scope does not apply to this operation.

A queue family ownership transfer operation is also defined if the values are not equal, and either is one of the special queue family values reserved for external memory ownership transfers, as described in Queue Family Ownership Transfer. A queue family release operation is defined when `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is one of those values, and a queue family acquire operation is defined when `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is one of those values.

If `oldLayout` is not equal to `newLayout`, then the memory barrier defines an image layout transition for the specified image subresource range. If this memory barrier defines a queue family ownership transfer operation, the layout transition is only executed once between the queues.

Note | When the old and new layout are equal, the layout values are ignored - data is preserved no matter what values are specified, or what layout the image is currently in.

If `image` has a multi-planar format and the image is disjoint, then including `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT` in the `aspectMask` member of `subresourceRange` is equivalent to including `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT`, `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT`, and (for three-plane formats only) `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_2_BIT`.

        const void*                pNext;

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

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

- `srcAccessMask` is a bitmask of VkAccessFlagBits specifying a source access mask.

- `dstAccessMask` is a bitmask of VkAccessFlagBits specifying a destination access mask.

- `oldLayout` is the old layout in an image layout transition.

- `newLayout` is the new layout in an image layout transition.

- `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is the source queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is the destination queue family for a queue family ownership transfer.

- `image` is a handle to the image affected by this barrier.

- `subresourceRange` describes the image subresource range within `image` that is affected by this barrier.

The first access scope is limited to access to memory through the specified image subresource range, via access types in the source access mask specified by `srcAccessMask`. If `srcAccessMask` includes `VK_ACCESS_HOST_WRITE_BIT`, memory writes performed by that access type are also made visible, as that access type is not performed through a resource.

The second access scope is limited to access to memory through the specified image subresource range, via access types in the destination access mask specified by `dstAccessMask`. If `dstAccessMask` includes `VK_ACCESS_HOST_WRITE_BIT` or `VK_ACCESS_HOST_READ_BIT`, available memory writes are also made visible to accesses of those types, as those access types are not performed through a resource.

If `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is not equal to `dstQueueFamilyIndex`, and `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is equal to the current queue family, then the memory barrier defines a queue family release operation for the specified image subresource range, and if `dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the second synchronization scope of the calling command does not apply to this operation.

If `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is not equal to `srcQueueFamilyIndex`, and `dstQueueFamilyIndex` is equal to the current queue family, then the memory barrier defines a queue family acquire operation for the specified image subresource range, and if `dependencyFlags` did not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, the first synchronization scope of the calling command does not apply to this operation.

If the `synchronization2` feature is not enabled or `oldLayout` is not equal to `newLayout`, `oldLayout` and `newLayout` define an image layout transition for the specified image subresource range.

Note | If the `synchronization2` feature is enabled, when the old and new layout are equal, the layout values are ignored - data is preserved no matter what values are specified, or what layout the image is currently in.

If `image` has a multi-planar format and the image is disjoint, then including `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT` in the `aspectMask` member of `subresourceRange` is equivalent to including `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT`, `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT`, and (for three-plane formats only) `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_2_BIT`.

To facilitate usage of images whose memory is initialized on the host, Vulkan allows image layout transitions to be performed by the host as well, albeit supporting limited layouts.

To perform an image layout transition on the host, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    VkResult vkTransitionImageLayout(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    transitionCount,
        const VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo*      pTransitions);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_EXT_host_image_copy
    VkResult vkTransitionImageLayoutEXT(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    transitionCount,
        const VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo*      pTransitions);

- `device` is the device which owns `pTransitions`[i].`image`.

- `transitionCount` is the number of image layout transitions to perform.

- `pTransitions` is a pointer to an array of VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo structures specifying the image and subresource ranges within them to transition.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkTransitionImageLayout-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkTransitionImageLayout-pTransitions-parameter
  `pTransitions` must be a valid pointer to an array of `transitionCount` valid VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo structures

- VUID-vkTransitionImageLayout-transitionCount-arraylength
  `transitionCount` must be greater than `0`

Success

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

Failure

The `VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    typedef struct VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo {
        VkStructureType            sType;
        const void*                pNext;
        VkImage                    image;
        VkImageLayout              oldLayout;
        VkImageLayout              newLayout;
        VkImageSubresourceRange    subresourceRange;
    } VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_EXT_host_image_copy
    typedef VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfo VkHostImageLayoutTransitionInfoEXT;

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

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

- `image` is a handle to the image affected by this layout transition.

- `oldLayout` is the old layout in an image layout transition.

- `newLayout` is the new layout in an image layout transition.

- `subresourceRange` describes the image subresource range within `image` that is affected by this layout transition.

`vkTransitionImageLayout` does not check whether the device memory associated with an image is currently in use before performing the layout transition. The application must guarantee that any previously submitted command that reads from or writes to this subresource has completed before the host performs the layout transition. The memory of `image` is accessed by the host as if coherent.

Note | Image layout transitions performed on the host do not require queue family ownership transfers as the physical layout of the image will not vary between queue families for the layouts supported by this function.

Note | If the device has written to the image memory, it is not automatically made available to the host. Before this command can be called, a memory barrier for this image must have been issued on the device with the second synchronization scope including `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_HOST_BIT` and `VK_ACCESS_HOST_READ_BIT`. Because queue submissions automatically make host memory visible to the device, there would not be a need for a memory barrier before using the results of this layout transition on the device.

#### 7.7.4. Queue Family Ownership Transfer

Resources created with a VkSharingMode of `VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE` must have their ownership explicitly transferred from one queue family to another in order to access their content in a well-defined manner on a queue in a different queue family.

The special queue family index `VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_IGNORED` indicates that a queue family parameter or member is ignored.

    #define VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_IGNORED           (~0U)

Resources shared with external APIs or instances using external memory must also explicitly manage ownership transfers between local and external queues (or equivalent constructs in external APIs) regardless of the VkSharingMode specified when creating them.

The special queue family index `VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL` represents any queue external to the resource’s current Vulkan instance, as long as the queue uses the same underlying device group or physical device, and the same driver version as the resource’s VkDevice, as indicated by VkPhysicalDeviceIDProperties::`deviceUUID` and VkPhysicalDeviceIDProperties::`driverUUID`.

    #define VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL          (~1U)

or the equivalent

    #define VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR      VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL

The special queue family index `VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT` represents any queue external to the resource’s current Vulkan instance, regardless of the queue’s underlying physical device or driver version. This includes, for example, queues for fixed-function image processing devices, media codec devices, and display devices, as well as all queues that use the same underlying device group or physical device, and the same driver version as the resource’s VkDevice.

    #define VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT       (~2U)

If memory dependencies are correctly expressed between uses of such a resource between two queues in different families, but no ownership transfer is defined, the contents of that resource are undefined for any read accesses performed by the second queue family.

Note | If an application does not need the contents of a resource to remain valid when transferring from one queue family to another, then the ownership transfer should be skipped.

Note | Applications should expect transfers to/from `VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT` to be more expensive than transfers to/from `VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR`.

A queue family ownership transfer consists of two distinct parts:

1. Release exclusive ownership from the source queue family

2. Acquire exclusive ownership for the destination queue family

An application must ensure that these operations occur in the correct order by defining an execution dependency between them, e.g. using a semaphore.

A release operation is used to release exclusive ownership of a range of a buffer or image subresource range. A release operation is defined by executing a buffer memory barrier (for a buffer range) or an image memory barrier (for an image subresource range) using a pipeline barrier command, on a queue from the source queue family. The `srcQueueFamilyIndex` parameter of the barrier must be the source queue family index, and the `dstQueueFamilyIndex` parameter to the destination queue family index. The destination access mask is ignored for such a barrier, such that no visibility operation is executed - the value of this mask does not affect the validity of the barrier. The release operation happens-after the availability operation. If `dependencyFlags` does not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, `dstStageMask` is also ignored for such a barrier as defined by buffer memory ownership transfer and image memory ownership transfer.

An acquire operation is used to acquire exclusive ownership of a range of a buffer or image subresource range. An acquire operation is defined by executing a buffer memory barrier (for a buffer range) or an image memory barrier (for an image subresource range) using a pipeline barrier command, on a queue from the destination queue family. The buffer range or image subresource range specified in an acquire operation must match exactly that of a previous release operation. The `srcQueueFamilyIndex` parameter of the barrier must be the source queue family index, and the `dstQueueFamilyIndex` parameter to the destination queue family index. The source access mask is ignored for such a barrier, such that no availability operation is executed - the value of this mask does not affect the validity of the barrier. The acquire operation happens-before the visibility operation. If `dependencyFlags` does not include `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, `srcStageMask` is also ignored for such a barrier as defined by buffer memory ownership transfer and image memory ownership transfer.

Note | Whilst it is not invalid to provide destination or source access masks for memory barriers used for release or acquire operations, respectively, they have no practical effect. Access after a release operation has undefined results, and so visibility for those accesses has no practical effect. Similarly, write access before an acquire operation will produce undefined results for future access, so availability of those writes has no practical use. In an earlier version of the specification, these were required to match on both sides - but this was subsequently relaxed. These masks should be set to 0.

Note | To ensure that an acquire and release operation are valid, the release operation must happen-before the acquire operation. Often, semaphores are used for this directly, with the semaphore signaling after a release and then waiting before an acquire. Prior to the introduction of `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR`, `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_ALL_COMMANDS_BIT` is the only valid stage to wait on or wait for these operations, as the acquire and release operations do not occur in a defined stage. When `VK_DEPENDENCY_QUEUE_FAMILY_OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER_USE_ALL_STAGES_BIT_KHR` is specified however, these can be synchronized with the stages which would otherwise be ignored, as these stages now synchronize the acquire and release operations, providing a way to avoid full pipeline stalls.

If the transfer is via an image memory barrier, and an image layout transition is desired, then the values of `oldLayout` and `newLayout` in the release operation's memory barrier must be equal to values of `oldLayout` and `newLayout` in the acquire operation's memory barrier. Although the image layout transition is submitted twice, it will only be executed once. A layout transition specified in this way happens-after the release operation and happens-before the acquire operation.

If the values of `srcQueueFamilyIndex` and `dstQueueFamilyIndex` are equal, no ownership transfer is performed, and the barrier operates as if they were both set to `VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_IGNORED`.

Queue family ownership transfers may perform read and write accesses on all memory bound to the image subresource or buffer range, so applications must ensure that all memory writes have been made available before a queue family ownership transfer is executed. Available memory is automatically made visible to queue family release and acquire operations, and writes performed by those operations are automatically made available.

Once a queue family has acquired ownership of a buffer range or image subresource range of a `VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE` resource, its contents are undefined to other queue families unless ownership is transferred. The contents of any portion of another resource which aliases memory that is bound to the transferred buffer or image subresource range are undefined after a release or acquire operation.

Note | Because events cannot be used directly for inter-queue synchronization, and because vkCmdSetEvent does not have the queue family index or memory barrier parameters needed by a release operation, the release and acquire operations of a queue family ownership transfer can only be performed using vkCmdPipelineBarrier.

An acquire operation may have a performance penalty when acquiring ownership of a subresource range from one of the special queue families reserved for external memory ownership transfers described above. The application can reduce the performance penalty in some cases by adding a VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT structure to the `pNext` chain of the acquire operation's memory barrier structure.

The `VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_external_memory_acquire_unmodified
    typedef struct VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkBool32           acquireUnmodifiedMemory;
    } VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT;

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

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

- `acquireUnmodifiedMemory` specifies, if `VK_TRUE`, that no range of VkDeviceMemory bound to the resource of the memory barrier’s subresource range was modified at any time since the resource’s most recent release of ownership to the queue family specified by the memory barrier’s `srcQueueFamilyIndex`. If `VK_FALSE`, it specifies nothing.

If the application releases ownership of the subresource range to one of the special queue families reserved for external memory ownership transfers with a memory barrier structure, and later re-acquires ownership from the same queue family with a memory barrier structure, and if no range of VkDeviceMemory bound to the resource was modified at any time between the release operation and the acquire operation, then the application should add a VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT structure to the `pNext` chain of the acquire operation's memory barrier structure because this may reduce the performance penalty.

This structure is ignored if `acquireUnmodifiedMemory` is `VK_FALSE`. In particular, `VK_FALSE` does not specify that memory was modified.

This structure is ignored if the memory barrier’s `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is not a special queue family reserved for external memory ownership transfers.

Note | The method by which the application determines whether memory was modified between the release operation and acquire operation is outside the scope of Vulkan. For any Vulkan operation that accesses a resource, the application must not assume the implementation accesses the resource’s memory as read-only, even for apparently read-only operations such as transfer commands and shader reads. The validity of VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT::`acquireUnmodifiedMemory` is independent of memory ranges outside the ranges of VkDeviceMemory bound to the resource. In particular, it is independent of any implementation-private memory associated with the resource.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT-acquireUnmodifiedMemory-08922
  If `acquireUnmodifiedMemory` is `VK_TRUE`, and the memory barrier’s `srcQueueFamilyIndex` is a special queue family reserved for external memory ownership transfers (as described in Queue Family Ownership Transfer), then each range of VkDeviceMemory bound to the resource must have remained unmodified during all time since the resource’s most recent release of ownership to the queue family

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkExternalMemoryAcquireUnmodifiedEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_ACQUIRE_UNMODIFIED_EXT`

### 7.8. Wait Idle Operations

To wait on the host for the completion of outstanding queue operations for a given queue, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkQueueWaitIdle(
        VkQueue                                     queue);

- `queue` is the queue on which to wait.

`vkQueueWaitIdle` is equivalent to having submitted a valid fence to every previously executed queue submission command that accepts a fence, then waiting for all of those fences to signal using vkWaitForFences with an infinite timeout and `waitAll` set to `VK_TRUE`.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkQueueWaitIdle-queue-parameter
  `queue` must be a valid VkQueue handle

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `queue` must be externally synchronized

Command Buffer Levels | Render Pass Scope | Video Coding Scope | Supported Queue Types | Command Type
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
- | - | - | Any | -

Return Codes

Success

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

Failure

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`

To wait on the host for the completion of outstanding queue operations for all queues on a given logical device, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VkResult vkDeviceWaitIdle(
        VkDevice                                    device);

- `device` is the logical device to idle.

`vkDeviceWaitIdle` is equivalent to calling `vkQueueWaitIdle` for all queues owned by `device`.

  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

Host Synchronization

- Host access to all `VkQueue` objects created from `device` must be externally synchronized

Return Codes

Success

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`

### 7.9. Host Write Ordering Guarantees

When batches of command buffers are submitted to a queue via a queue submission command, it defines a memory dependency with prior host operations, and execution of command buffers submitted to the queue.

The first synchronization scope includes execution of vkQueueSubmit on the host and anything that happened-before it, as defined by the host memory model.

Note | Some systems allow writes that do not directly integrate with the host memory model; these have to be synchronized by the application manually. One example of this is non-temporal store instructions on x86; to ensure these happen-before submission, applications should call `_mm_sfence()`.

The second synchronization scope includes all commands submitted in the same queue submission, and all commands that occur later in submission order.

The first access scope includes all host writes to mappable device memory that are available to the host memory domain.

The second access scope includes all memory access performed by the device.

### 7.10. Synchronization and Multiple Physical Devices

If a logical device includes more than one physical device, then fences, semaphores, and events all still have a single instance of the signaled state.

A fence becomes signaled when all physical devices complete the necessary queue operations.

Semaphore wait and signal operations all include a device index that is the sole physical device that performs the operation. These indices are provided in the VkDeviceGroupSubmitInfo and VkDeviceGroupBindSparseInfo structures. Semaphores are not exclusively owned by any physical device. For example, a semaphore can be signaled by one physical device and then waited on by a different physical device.

An event can only be waited on by the same physical device that signaled it (or the host).

### 7.11. Calibrated Timestamps

In order to be able to correlate the time a particular operation took place at on timelines of different time domains (e.g. a device operation vs. a host operation), Vulkan allows querying calibrated timestamps from multiple time domains.

To query calibrated timestamps from a set of time domains, call:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_calibrated_timestamps
    VkResult vkGetCalibratedTimestampsKHR(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    timestampCount,
        const VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR*         pTimestampInfos,
        uint64_t*                                   pTimestamps,
        uint64_t*                                   pMaxDeviation);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
    VkResult vkGetCalibratedTimestampsEXT(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    timestampCount,
        const VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR*         pTimestampInfos,
        uint64_t*                                   pTimestamps,
        uint64_t*                                   pMaxDeviation);

- `device` is the logical device used to perform the query.

- `timestampCount` is the number of timestamps to query.

- `pTimestampInfos` is a pointer to an array of `timestampCount` VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR structures, describing the time domains the calibrated timestamps should be captured from.

- `pTimestamps` is a pointer to an array of `timestampCount` 64-bit unsigned integer values in which the requested calibrated timestamp values are returned.

- `pMaxDeviation` is a pointer to a 64-bit unsigned integer value in which the strictly positive maximum deviation, in nanoseconds, of the calibrated timestamp values is returned.

Note | The maximum deviation may vary between calls to `vkGetCalibratedTimestampsKHR` even for the same set of time domains due to implementation and platform specific reasons. It is the application’s responsibility to assess whether the returned maximum deviation makes the timestamp values suitable for any particular purpose and can choose to re-issue the timestamp calibration call pursuing a lower deviation value.

Calibrated timestamp values can be extrapolated to estimate future coinciding timestamp values, however, depending on the nature of the time domains and other properties of the platform extrapolating values over a sufficiently long period of time may no longer be accurate enough to fit any particular purpose, so applications are expected to re-calibrate the timestamps on a regular basis.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkGetCalibratedTimestampsKHR-timeDomain-09246
  The `timeDomain` value of each VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR in `pTimestampInfos` must be unique

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  `pMaxDeviation` must be a valid pointer to a `uint64_t` value

- VUID-vkGetCalibratedTimestampsKHR-timestampCount-arraylength
  `timestampCount` must be greater than `0`

Return Codes

Success

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

Failure

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`

The `VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_calibrated_timestamps
    typedef struct VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkTimeDomainKHR    timeDomain;
    } VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
    typedef VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR VkCalibratedTimestampInfoEXT;

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

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

- `timeDomain` is a VkTimeDomainKHR value specifying the time domain from which the calibrated timestamp value should be returned.

- VUID-VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkCalibratedTimestampInfoKHR-timeDomain-parameter
  `timeDomain` must be a valid VkTimeDomainKHR value

The set of supported time domains consists of:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_calibrated_timestamps
    typedef enum VkTimeDomainKHR {
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_DEVICE_KHR = 0,
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_KHR = 1,
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW_KHR = 2,
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_KHR = 3,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_DEVICE_EXT = VK_TIME_DOMAIN_DEVICE_KHR,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_EXT = VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_KHR,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW_EXT = VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW_KHR,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
        VK_TIME_DOMAIN_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_EXT = VK_TIME_DOMAIN_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_KHR,
    } VkTimeDomainKHR;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
    typedef VkTimeDomainKHR VkTimeDomainEXT;

- `VK_TIME_DOMAIN_DEVICE_KHR` specifies the device time domain. Timestamp values in this time domain use the same units and are comparable with device timestamp values captured using vkCmdWriteTimestamp or vkCmdWriteTimestamp2 and are defined to be incrementing according to the `timestampPeriod` of the device.

- `VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_KHR` specifies the CLOCK_MONOTONIC time domain available on POSIX platforms. Timestamp values in this time domain are in units of nanoseconds and are comparable with platform timestamp values captured using the POSIX clock_gettime API as computed by this example:

Note | An implementation supporting `VK_KHR_calibrated_timestamps` or `VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps` will use the same time domain for all its VkQueue so that timestamp values reported for `VK_TIME_DOMAIN_DEVICE_KHR` can be matched to any timestamp captured through vkCmdWriteTimestamp or vkCmdWriteTimestamp2 .

    struct timespec tv;
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &tv);
    return tv.tv_nsec + tv.tv_sec*1000000000ull;

- `VK_TIME_DOMAIN_CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW_KHR` specifies the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW time domain available on POSIX platforms. Timestamp values in this time domain are in units of nanoseconds and are comparable with platform timestamp values captured using the POSIX clock_gettime API as computed by this example:

    struct timespec tv;
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, &tv);
    return tv.tv_nsec + tv.tv_sec*1000000000ull;

- `VK_TIME_DOMAIN_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_KHR` specifies the performance counter (QPC) time domain available on Windows.

    LARGE_INTEGER counter;
    QueryPerformanceCounter(&counter);
    return counter.QuadPart;
