## Name

VkPeerMemoryFeatureFlagBits - Bitmask specifying supported peer memory features

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Bits which may be set in vkGetDeviceGroupPeerMemoryFeatures::`pPeerMemoryFeatures`, indicating supported peer memory features, are:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef enum VkPeerMemoryFeatureFlagBits {
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_SRC_BIT = 0x00000001,
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_DST_BIT = 0x00000002,
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_SRC_BIT = 0x00000004,
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_DST_BIT = 0x00000008,
      // Provided by VK_KHR_device_group
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_SRC_BIT_KHR = VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_SRC_BIT,
      // Provided by VK_KHR_device_group
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_DST_BIT_KHR = VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_DST_BIT,
      // Provided by VK_KHR_device_group
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_SRC_BIT_KHR = VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_SRC_BIT,
      // Provided by VK_KHR_device_group
        VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_DST_BIT_KHR = VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_DST_BIT,
    } VkPeerMemoryFeatureFlagBits;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_device_group
    typedef VkPeerMemoryFeatureFlagBits VkPeerMemoryFeatureFlagBitsKHR;

## Description

- `VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_SRC_BIT` specifies that the memory can be accessed as the source of any `vkCmdCopy*` command.

- `VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_DST_BIT` specifies that the memory can be accessed as the destination of any `vkCmdCopy*` command.

- `VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_SRC_BIT` specifies that the memory can be read as any memory access type.

- `VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_GENERIC_DST_BIT` specifies that the memory can be written as any memory access type. Shader atomics are considered to be writes.

| Note The peer memory features of a memory heap also apply to any accesses that may be performed during image layout transitions.

`VK_PEER_MEMORY_FEATURE_COPY_DST_BIT` must be supported for all host local heaps and for at least one device-local memory heap.

If a device does not support a peer memory feature, it is still valid to use a resource that includes both local and peer memory bindings with the corresponding access type as long as only the local bindings are actually accessed. For example, an application doing split-frame rendering would use framebuffer attachments that include both local and peer memory bindings, but would scissor the rendering to only update local memory.
