* Update release number to 85.
Public Issues:
* Add self-dependency ename:VK_DEPENDENCY_BY_REGION_BIT valid usage
statements for slink:VkSubpassDependency(public pull request 778).
* Apply fix from pull request 742 to slink:VkSubpassDependency and
slink:VkSubpassDependency2 (public pull request 779).
* Specify the units of slink:VkBufferImageCopy::pname:bufferRowLength and
pname:bufferImageHeight as texels (public pull request 781).
* Better specify promoted parameter mapping in the
`<<VK_KHR_create_renderpass2>>` appendix (public pull request 782).
Internal Issues:
* Only include the <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for
Newer Core Versions>> section in Vulkan 1.1 or later (internal issue
1381).
Other Issues:
* Clean up redundant valid usage language for the
`VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` extension
interaction with slink:VkImageCreateInfo.
* Fix error in a flag name within valid usage statements for
slink:VkMemoryAllocateInfo.
* Clarify that memory types are not totally ordered in
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties.
* For slink:VkWriteDescriptorSetInlineUniformBlockEXT, set
structextends="VkWriteDescriptorSet" in `vk.xml`, and make
slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBindingFlagsCreateInfoEXT::pname:pBindingFlags
optional.
* Add documentation of 'provisional' XML attribute to registry.txt.
New Extensions:
* `VK_NV_compute_shader_derivatives`
* `VK_NV_corner_sampled_image`
* `VK_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric`
* `VK_NV_mesh_shader`

|
|
This extension adds Vulkan support for the
|
|
`SPV_NV_compute_shader_derivatives` SPIR-V extension.
|
|
|
|
The SPIR-V extension provides two new execution modes, both of which allow
|
|
compute shaders to use built-ins that evaluate compute derivatives
|
|
explicitly or implicitly.
|
|
Derivatives will be computed via differencing over a 2x2 group of shader
|
|
invocations.
|
|
The code:DerivativeGroupQuadsNV execution mode assembles shader invocations
|
|
into 2x2 groups, where each group has x and y coordinates of the local
|
|
invocation ID of the form (2m+{0,1}, 2n+{0,1}).
|
|
The code:DerivativeGroupLinearNV execution mode assembles shader invocations
|
|
into 2x2 groups, where each group has local invocation index values of the
|
|
form 4m+{0,1,2,3}.
|
|
|
|
=== New Object Types
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
=== New Enum Constants
|
|
|

|
|
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_COMPUTE_SHADER_DERIVATIVES_FEATURES_NV
|
|
|
|
=== New Enums
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
=== New Structures

|
|
|
* slink:VkPhysicalDeviceComputeShaderDerivativesFeaturesNV
|

|
=== New Functions
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
=== New SPIR-V Capability
|
|
|
|
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-computederivatives-quads,ComputeDerivativeGroupQuadsNV>>
|
|
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-computederivatives-linear,ComputeDerivativeGroupLinearNV>>
|
|
|
|
=== Issues
|
|
|
|
(1) Should we specify that the groups of four shader invocations used for
|
|
derivatives in a compute shader are the same groups of four invocations
|
|
that form a "quad" in shader subgroups?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Yes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Examples
|
|
|
|
None.
