VKPHYSICALDEVICE(3)

NAME
VkPhysicalDevice - Opaque handle to a physical device object

C SPECIFICATION

Vulkan separates the concept of physical and logical devices. A physical device usually represents a single device in a system (perhaps made up of several individual hardware devices working together), of which there are a finite number. A logical device represents an application’s view of the device.

Physical devices are represented by VkPhysicalDevice handles:

    VK_DEFINE_HANDLE(VkPhysicalDevice)
