C Specification
The VkQueueFamilyProperties structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkQueueFamilyProperties {
VkQueueFlags queueFlags;
uint32_t queueCount;
uint32_t timestampValidBits;
VkExtent3D minImageTransferGranularity;
} VkQueueFamilyProperties;
Members
-
queueFlagsis a bitmask of VkQueueFlagBits indicating capabilities of the queues in this queue family. -
queueCountis the unsigned integer count of queues in this queue family. Each queue family must support at least one queue. -
timestampValidBitsis the unsigned integer count of meaningful bits in the timestamps written via vkCmdWriteTimestamp2 or vkCmdWriteTimestamp. The valid range for the count is 36 to 64 bits, or a value of 0, indicating no support for timestamps. Bits outside the valid range are guaranteed to be zeros. -
minImageTransferGranularityis the minimum granularity supported for image transfer operations on the queues in this queue family.
Description
The value returned in minImageTransferGranularity has a unit of
compressed texel blocks for images having a block-compressed format, and a
unit of texels otherwise.
Possible values of minImageTransferGranularity are:
-
(0,0,0) specifies that only whole mip levels must be transferred using the image transfer operations on the corresponding queues. In this case, the following restrictions apply to all offset and extent parameters of image transfer operations:
-
The
x,y, andzmembers of a VkOffset3D parameter must always be zero. -
The
width,height, anddepthmembers of a VkExtent3D parameter must always match the width, height, and depth of the image subresource corresponding to the parameter, respectively.
-
-
(Ax, Ay, Az) where Ax, Ay, and Az are all integer powers of two. In this case the following restrictions apply to all image transfer operations:
-
x,y, andzof a VkOffset3D parameter must be integer multiples of Ax, Ay, and Az, respectively. -
widthof a VkExtent3D parameter must be an integer multiple of Ax, or elsex+widthmust equal the width of the image subresource corresponding to the parameter. -
heightof a VkExtent3D parameter must be an integer multiple of Ay, or elsey+heightmust equal the height of the image subresource corresponding to the parameter. -
depthof a VkExtent3D parameter must be an integer multiple of Az, or elsez+depthmust equal the depth of the image subresource corresponding to the parameter. -
If the format of the image corresponding to the parameters is one of the block-compressed formats then for the purposes of the above calculations the granularity must be scaled up by the compressed texel block dimensions.
-
Queues supporting graphics and/or compute operations must report
(1,1,1) in minImageTransferGranularity, meaning that there are
no additional restrictions on the granularity of image transfer operations
for these queues.
Other queues supporting image transfer operations are only required to
support whole mip level transfers, thus minImageTransferGranularity
for queues belonging to such queue families may be (0,0,0).
