VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV

Structure describing feature to use extended sparse address space

The VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 extendedSparseAddressSpace;
} VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV;

This structure describes the following feature:

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • extendedSparseAddressSpace indicates that the implementation supports allowing certain usages of sparse memory resources to exceed VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::sparseAddressSpaceSize. See VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpacePropertiesNV.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV 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. VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV can also be used in the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_EXTENDED_SPARSE_ADDRESS_SPACE_FEATURES_NV
