VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructurePropertiesKHR

The VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructurePropertiesKHR structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructurePropertiesKHR {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    uint64_t maxGeometryCount;
    uint64_t maxInstanceCount;
    uint64_t maxPrimitiveCount;
    uint32_t maxPerStageDescriptorAccelerationStructures;
    uint32_t maxPerStageDescriptorUpdateAfterBindAccelerationStructures;
    uint32_t maxDescriptorSetAccelerationStructures;
    uint32_t maxDescriptorSetUpdateAfterBindAccelerationStructures;
    uint32_t minAccelerationStructureScratchOffsetAlignment;
} VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructurePropertiesKHR;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• maxGeometryCount is the maximum number of geometries in the bottom level acceleration structure.
• maxInstanceCount is the maximum number of instances in the top level acceleration structure.
• maxPrimitiveCount is the maximum number of triangles or AABBs in all geometries in the bottom level acceleration structure.
• maxPerStageDescriptorAccelerationStructures is the maximum number of acceleration structure bindings that can be accessible to a single shader stage in a pipeline layout. Descriptor bindings with a descriptor type of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_KHR count against this limit. Only descriptor bindings in descriptor set layouts created without the VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT bit set count against this limit.
• maxPerStageDescriptorUpdateAfterBindAccelerationStructures is similar to maxPerStageDescriptorAccelerationStructures but counts descriptor bindings from descriptor sets created with or without the VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT bit set.
• maxDescriptorSetAccelerationStructures is the maximum number of acceleration structure descriptors that can be included in descriptor bindings in a pipeline layout across all pipeline shader stages and descriptor set numbers. Descriptor bindings with a descriptor type of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_KHR count against this limit. Only descriptor bindings in descriptor set layouts created without the VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT bit set count against this limit.
• maxDescriptorSetUpdateAfterBindAccelerationStructures is similar to maxDescriptorSetAccelerationStructures but counts descriptor bindings from descriptor sets created with or without the VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT bit set.
• minAccelerationStructureScratchOffsetAlignment is the minimum required alignment, in bytes, for scratch data passed in to an acceleration structure build command. The value must be a power of two.

Due to the fact that the geometry, instance, and primitive counts are specified at acceleration structure creation as 32-bit values, maxGeometryCount, maxInstanceCount, and maxPrimitiveCount must not exceed 2³²-1.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructurePropertiesKHR structure is included in the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each corresponding implementation-dependent property.

Limits specified by this structure must match those specified with the same name in VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPropertiesNV.
