This extension defines a special queue family,
|
|
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT, which can be used to transfer ownership
|
|
of resources backed by external memory to foreign, external queues.
|
|
This is similar to ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR, defined in
|
|
`<<VK_KHR_external_memory>>`.
|
|
The key differences between the two are:
|
|
|
|
* The queues represented by ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR must share
|
|
the same physical device and the same driver version as the current
|
|
slink:VkInstance.
|
|
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT has no such restrictions.
|
|
It can represent devices and drivers from other vendors, and can even
|
|
represent non-Vulkan-capable devices.
|
|
* All resources backed by external memory support
|
|
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR.
|
|
Support for ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT is more restrictive.
|
|
* Applications should expect transitions to/from
|
|
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT to be more expensive than transitions
|
|
to/from ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR.
