= Vulkan Environment for SPIR-V

Shaders for Vulkan are defined by the <<spirv-spec,Khronos SPIR-V
Specification>> as well as the <<spirv-extended,Khronos SPIR-V Extended
Instructions for GLSL>> Specification.
This appendix defines additional SPIR-V requirements applying to Vulkan
shaders.

== Versions and Formats

ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_1[]
A Vulkan 1.1 implementation must: support the 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3
versions of SPIR-V and the 1.0 version of the SPIR-V Extended Instructions
for GLSL.
endif::VK_VERSION_1_1[]
ifndef::VK_VERSION_1_1[]
A Vulkan 1.0 implementation must: support the 1.0 version of SPIR-V and the
1.0 version of the SPIR-V Extended Instructions for GLSL.
endif::VK_VERSION_1_1[]

A SPIR-V module passed into flink:vkCreateShaderModule is interpreted as a
series of 32-bit words in host endianness, with literal strings packed as
described in section 2.2 of the SPIR-V Specification.
The first few words of the SPIR-V module must: be a magic number and a
SPIR-V version number, as described in section 2.3 of the SPIR-V
Specification.


[[spirvenv-capabilities]]
== Capabilities

Implementations must: support the following capability operands declared by
code:OpCapability:

  * code:Matrix
  * code:Shader
  * code:InputAttachment
  * code:Sampled1D
  * code:Image1D
  * code:SampledBuffer
  * code:ImageBuffer
  * code:ImageQuery
  * code:DerivativeControl
ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_device_group[]
  * code:DeviceGroup
endif::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_device_group[]
ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_multiview[]
  * [[spirvenv-capabilities-multiview]]
    code:MultiView
endif::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_multiview[]

If the implementation supports any of the optional: features described in
the <<features-features,Features>> chapter, then the capability operand(s)
corresponding to that feature must: also be supported.

[[spirvenv-precision-operation]]
== Precision and Operation of SPIR-V Instructions

The following rules apply to both single and double-precision floating point
instructions:

  * Positive and negative infinities and positive and negative zeros are
    generated as dictated by <<ieee-754,IEEE 754>>, but subject to the
    precisions allowed in the following table.
  * Dividing a non-zero by a zero results in the appropriately signed
    <<ieee-754,IEEE 754>> infinity.
  * Any denormalized value input into a shader or potentially generated by
    any instruction in a shader may: be flushed to 0.
  * The rounding mode cannot: be set and is undefined.
  * [eq]##NaN##s may: not be generated.
    Instructions that operate on a [eq]#NaN# may: not result in a [eq]#NaN#.
  * Support for signaling [eq]##NaN##s is optional: and exceptions are never
    raised.

The precision of double-precision instructions is at least that of single
precision.
For single precision (32 bit) instructions, precisions are required: to be
at least as follows, unless decorated with RelaxedPrecision:

| code:OpFOrdEqual, code:OpFUnordEqual                      | Correct result.
| code:OpFOrdLessThan, code:OpFUnordLessThan                | Correct result.
| code:OpFOrdGreaterThan, code:OpFUnordGreaterThan          | Correct result.
| code:OpFOrdLessThanEqual, code:OpFUnordLessThanEqual      | Correct result.
| code:OpFOrdGreaterThanEqual, code:OpFUnordGreaterThanEqual| Correct result.
| code:OpFDiv                                               | 2.5 ULP for b in the range [2^-126^, 2^126^].

.Precision of GLSL.std.450 Instructions
[options="header"]
|====
|Instruction                 | Precision
| code:fma()                 | Inherited from code:OpFMul followed by code:OpFAdd.
| code:exp(x),  code:exp2(x) | [eq]#3 {plus} 2 {times} {vert}x{vert}# ULP.
| code:log(),  code:log2()   | 3 ULP outside the range [eq]#[0.5, 2.0]#. Absolute error < [eq]#2^-21^# inside the range [eq]#[0.5, 2.0]#.
| code:pow(x, y)             | Inherited from code:exp2(y {times} code:log2(x)).
| code:sqrt()                | Inherited from 1.0 / code:inversesqrt().
| code:inversesqrt()         | 2 ULP.
|====

GLSL.std.450 extended instructions specifically defined in terms of the
above instructions inherit the above errors.
GLSL.std.450 extended instructions not listed above and not defined in terms
of the above have undefined precision.
These include, for example, the trigonometric functions and determinant.

For the code:OpSRem and code:OpSMod instructions, if either operand is
negative the result is undefined.

[NOTE]
.Note
====
While the code:OpSRem and code:OpSMod instructions are supported by the
Vulkan environment, they require non-negative values and thus do not enable
additional functionality beyond what code:OpUMod provides.

.Compatibility Between SPIR-V Image Formats And Vulkan Formats

Images which are read from or written to by shaders must: have SPIR-V image
formats compatible with the Vulkan image formats backing the image under the
circumstances described for <<textures-operation-validation,texture image
validation>>.
The compatibile formats are:
