## C Specification

The VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAtomicFloat2FeaturesEXT structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_shader_atomic_float2
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAtomicFloat2FeaturesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           shaderBufferFloat16Atomics;
        VkBool32           shaderBufferFloat16AtomicAdd;
        VkBool32           shaderBufferFloat16AtomicMinMax;
        VkBool32           shaderBufferFloat32AtomicMinMax;
        VkBool32           shaderBufferFloat64AtomicMinMax;
        VkBool32           shaderSharedFloat16Atomics;
        VkBool32           shaderSharedFloat16AtomicAdd;
        VkBool32           shaderSharedFloat16AtomicMinMax;
        VkBool32           shaderSharedFloat32AtomicMinMax;
        VkBool32           shaderSharedFloat64AtomicMinMax;
        VkBool32           shaderImageFloat32AtomicMinMax;
        VkBool32           sparseImageFloat32AtomicMinMax;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAtomicFloat2FeaturesEXT;

## Members

This structure describes the following features:

## Description

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `shaderBufferFloat16Atomics` indicates whether shaders can perform 16-bit floating-point load, store, and exchange atomic operations on storage buffers.

- `shaderBufferFloat16AtomicAdd` indicates whether shaders can perform 16-bit floating-point add atomic operations on storage buffers.

- `shaderBufferFloat16AtomicMinMax` indicates whether shaders can perform 16-bit floating-point min and max atomic operations on storage buffers.

- `shaderBufferFloat32AtomicMinMax` indicates whether shaders can perform 32-bit floating-point min and max atomic operations on storage buffers.

- `shaderBufferFloat64AtomicMinMax` indicates whether shaders can perform 64-bit floating-point min and max atomic operations on storage buffers.

- `shaderSharedFloat16Atomics` indicates whether shaders can perform 16-bit floating-point load, store and exchange atomic operations on shared and payload memory.

- `shaderSharedFloat16AtomicAdd` indicates whether shaders can perform 16-bit floating-point add atomic operations on shared and payload memory.

- `shaderSharedFloat16AtomicMinMax` indicates whether shaders can perform 16-bit floating-point min and max atomic operations on shared and payload memory.

- `shaderSharedFloat32AtomicMinMax` indicates whether shaders can perform 32-bit floating-point min and max atomic operations on shared and payload memory.

- `shaderSharedFloat64AtomicMinMax` indicates whether shaders can perform 64-bit floating-point min and max atomic operations on shared and payload memory.

- `shaderImageFloat32AtomicMinMax` indicates whether shaders can perform 32-bit floating-point min and max atomic image operations.

- `sparseImageFloat32AtomicMinMax` indicates whether 32-bit floating-point min and max atomic operations can be used on sparse images.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAtomicFloat2FeaturesEXT` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAtomicFloat2FeaturesEXT` can also be used in the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAtomicFloat2FeaturesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_ATOMIC_FLOAT_2_FEATURES_EXT`
