// Copyright (c) 2015-2016 The Khronos Group Inc. // Copyright notice at https://www.khronos.org/registry/speccopyright.html [[features]] = Features, Limits, and Formats {apiname} is designed to support a wide range of hardware and as such there are a number of features, limits, and formats which are not supported on all hardware. Features describe functionality that is not required: and which must: be explicitly enabled. Limits describe implementation-dependent minimums, maximums, and other device characteristics that an application may: need to be aware of. Supported buffer and image formats may: vary across implementations. A minimum set of format features are guaranteed, but others must: be explicitly queried before use to ensure they are supported by the implementation. [[features-features]] == Features The Specification defines a set of fine-grained features that are not required:, but may: be supported by a {apiname} implementation. Support for features is reported and enabled on a per-feature basis. Features are properties of the physical device. To query supported features, call: include::../protos/vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures.txt[] * pname:physicalDevice is the physical device from which to query the supported features. * pname:pFeatures is a pointer to a slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure in which the physical device features are returned. For each feature, a value of ename:VK_TRUE indicates that the feature is supported on this physical device, and ename:VK_FALSE indicates that the feature is not supported. include::../validity/protos/vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures.txt[] Fine-grained features used by a logical device must: be enabled at sname:VkDevice creation time. If a feature is enabled that the physical device does not support, sname:VkDevice creation will fail. If an application uses a feature without enabling it at sname:VkDevice creation time, the device behaviour is undefined. The validation layer will warn if features are used without being enabled. The fine-grained features are enabled by passing a pointer to the sname:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure via the pname:pEnabledFeatures member of the sname:VkDeviceCreateInfo structure that is passed into the fname:vkCreateDevice call. If a member of pname:pEnabledFeatures is set to ename:VK_TRUE or ename:VK_FALSE, then the device will be created with the indicated feature enabled or disabled, respectively. If an application wishes to enable all features supported by a device, it can: simply pass in the sname:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure that was previously returned by fname:vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures. To disable an individual feature, the application can: set the desired member to ename:VK_FALSE in the same structure. To disable all features which are not required:, set pname:pEnabledFeatures to `NULL`. [NOTE] .Note ==== Some features, such as pname:robustBufferAccess, may: incur a run-time performance cost.

implementations must: support. For bitfields a minimum limit is the least bits all implementations must: set, but they may: have additional bits set beyond this minimum. 2:: The pname:maxPerStageResources must: be at least the smallest of the following: + -- * the sum of the pname:maxPerStageDescriptorUniformBuffers, pname:maxPerStageDescriptorStorageBuffers, pname:maxPerStageDescriptorSampledImages, pname:maxPerStageDescriptorStorageImages, pname:maxPerStageDescriptorInputAttachments, pname:maxColorAttachments limits, or * 128. -- + It maynot: be possible to reach this limit in every stage. 3:: Maximum image attachment size or maximum display size 4:: Double the pname:maxViewportDimensions 5:: The values pname:minInterpolationOffset and pname:maxInterpolationOffset describe the closed interval of supported interpolation offsets: [pname:minInterpolationOffset, pname:maxInterpolationOffset]. The ULP is determined by pname:subPixelInterpolationOffsetBits. If pname:subPixelInterpolationOffsetBits is 4, this provides increments of (1/2^4^) = 0.0625, and thus the range of supported interpolation offsets would be [-0.5, 0.4375]. 6:: The point size ULP is determined by pname:pointSizeGranularity. If the pname:pointSizeGranularity is 0.125, the range of supported point sizes must: be at least [1.0, 63.875]. 7:: The line width ULP is determined by pname:lineWidthGranularity. If the pname:lineWidthGranularity is 0.0625, the range of supported line widths must: be at least [1.0, 7.9375].

The name of a format is usually built up by using the following pattern: VK_FORMAT_{component-format|compression-scheme}_{numeric-format} The component-format specifies either the size of the R, G, B, and A components (if they are present) in the case of a color format, or the size of the depth (D) and stencil (S) components (if they are present) in the case of a depth/stencil format (see below). An X indicates a component that is unused, but may: be present for padding. <<< [[features-formats-numericformat]] .Interpretation of Numeric Format [width="95%",cols="2,10",options="header"] |=================== | Numeric format | Description | etext:UNORM | The components are unsigned normalized values in the range [0,1] | etext:SNORM | The components are signed normalized values in the range [-1,1] | etext:USCALED | The components are unsigned integer values that get converted to floating-point in the range [0,2^n^-1] | etext:SSCALED | The components are signed integer values that get converted to floating-point in the range [-2^n-1^,2^n-1^-1] | etext:UINT | The components are unsigned integer values in the range [0,2^n^-1] | etext:SINT | The components are signed integer values in the range [-2^n-1^,2^n-1^-1] | etext:UFLOAT | The components are unsigned floating-point numbers (used by packed, shared exponent, and some compressed formats) | etext:SFLOAT | The components are signed floating-point numbers | etext:SRGB | The R, G, and B components are unsigned normalized values that represent values using sRGB nonlinear encoding, while the A component (if one exists) is a regular unsigned normalized value |=================== The suffix etext:_PACKnn indicates that the format is packed into an underlying type with nn bits.

the previous sections (<> and <>), implementations may: support additional capabilities for certain types of images. For example, larger dimensions or additional sample counts for certain image types, or additional capabilities for _linear_ tiling format images. To query additional capabilities specific to image types, call: include::../protos/vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties.txt[] * pname:physicalDevice is the physical device from which to query the image capabilities. * pname:format is the image format, corresponding to slink:VkImageCreateInfo.format. * pname:type is the image type, corresponding to slink:VkImageCreateInfo.imageType. * pname:tiling is the image tiling, corresponding to slink:VkImageCreateInfo.tiling. * pname:usage is the intended usage of the image, corresponding to slink:VkImageCreateInfo.usage. * pname:flags is a bitfield describing additional parameters of the image, corresponding to slink:VkImageCreateInfo.flags. * pname:pImageFormatProperties points to an instance of the slink:VkImageFormatProperties structure in which capabilities are returned. The pname:format, pname:type, pname:tiling, pname:usage, and pname:flags parameters correspond to parameters that would be consumed by flink:vkCreateImage. include::../validity/protos/vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties.txt[] The definition of the sname:VkImageFormatProperties structure is: include::../structs/VkImageFormatProperties.txt[] * pname:maxExtent are the maximum image dimensions. See the <> table below for how these values are constrained by pname:type. * pname:maxMipLevels is the maximum number of mipmap levels. pname:maxMipLevels must: either be equal to 1 (valid only if pname:tiling is ename:VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR) or be greater than or equal to the latexmath:[$log_2$] of the pname:maxImageDimension1D, pname:maxImageDimension2D, or pname:maxImageDimension3D (depending on pname:type) members of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits. * pname:maxArrayLayers is the maximum number of array layers. pname:maxArrayLayers must: either be equal to 1 or be greater than or equal to the pname:maxImageArrayLayers member of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits. A value of 1 is valid only if pname:tiling is ename:VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR or if pname:type is ename:VK_IMAGE_TYPE_3D. * pname:sampleCounts is a bitmask of elink:VkSampleCountFlagBits specifying all the supported sample counts for this image. When pname:tiling is ename:VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR the pname:sampleCounts will be set to ename:VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT. Otherwise the bits set here are a superset of the corresponding limits for the image type in the sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits struct. For non-integer color images this is pname:sampledImageColorSampleCounts, for integer format color images this is pname:sampledImageIntegerSampleCounts, for depth/stencil images with a depth component this is pname:sampledImageDepthSampleCounts, for depth/stencil with a stencil component images this is pname:sampledImageStencilSampleCounts, and if pname:usage has ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_STORAGE_BIT set this is pname:storageImageSampleCounts. For depth/stencil images with both a depth and stencil component, both the depth and stencil limits must: be satisfied. * pname:maxResourceSize is the maximum total image size in bytes, inclusive of all subresources. Implementations may: have an address space limit on total size of a resource, which is advertised by this property. pname:maxResourceSize must: be at least 2^31^. [NOTE] .Note ==== There is no mechanism to query the size of an image before creating it, to compare that size against pname:maxResourceSize. If an application attempts to create an image that exceeds this limit, the creation will fail or the image will be invalid. ==== If the combination of parameters to fname:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties is not supported by the implementation for use in flink:vkCreateImage, then all members of sname:VkImageFormatProperties will be filled with zero. include::../validity/structs/VkImageFormatProperties.txt[] [[features-extentperimagetype]] .Allowed extent values based on imageType [cols="1a,1a", options="header"] |==== | VkImageType | maxExtent values | VK_IMAGE_TYPE_1D | width >= 1 + height = 1 + depth = 1 + | VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D | width >= 1 + height >= 1 + depth = 1 + | VK_IMAGE_TYPE_3D | width >= 1 + height >= 1 + depth >= 1 + |==== If pname:format is not a supported image format, or if the combination of pname:format, pname:type, pname:tiling, pname:usage, and pname:flags is not supported for images, then fname:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties returns ename:VK_ERROR_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED. The limitations on an image format that are reported by fname:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties have the following property: if code:usage1 and code:usage2 of type elink:VkImageUsageFlags and code:flags1 and code:flags2 of type elink:VkImageCreateFlags are such that code:usage1 contains a subset of the bits set in code:usage2 and code:flags1 contains a subset of the bits set in code:flags2, then the limitations for code:usage1 and code:flags1 must: be no more strict than the limitations for code:usage2 and code:flags2, for all values of pname:format, pname:type, and pname:tiling.
