C Specification

The VkExternalComputeQueueCreateInfoNV structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_NV_external_compute_queue
typedef struct VkExternalComputeQueueCreateInfoNV {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    const void*        pNext;
    VkQueue            preferredQueue;
} VkExternalComputeQueueCreateInfoNV;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • preferredQueue is a VkQueue supporting graphics commands.

Description

When creating a VkExternalComputeQueueNV, the preferredQueue field is a strong scheduling hint as to which VkQueue Vulkan graphics workloads will be submitted to with the expectation that execution will overlap with execution of work submitted by the external API.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkExternalComputeQueueCreateInfoNV-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXTERNAL_COMPUTE_QUEUE_CREATE_INFO_NV

  • VUID-VkExternalComputeQueueCreateInfoNV-pNext-pNext
    pNext must be NULL

  • VUID-VkExternalComputeQueueCreateInfoNV-preferredQueue-parameter
    preferredQueue must be a valid VkQueue handle
