VkPhysicalDevicePartitionedAccelerationStructureFeaturesNV

Structure describing the ray tracing partitioned top level acceleration structure feature supported by an implementation

The VkPhysicalDevicePartitionedAccelerationStructureFeaturesNV structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDevicePartitionedAccelerationStructureFeaturesNV {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 partitionedAccelerationStructure;
} VkPhysicalDevicePartitionedAccelerationStructureFeaturesNV;

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.
  • partitionedAccelerationStructure indicates whether the implementation supports the ability to generate top level partitioned acceleration structures.

If the VkPhysicalDevicePartitionedAccelerationStructureFeaturesNV 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. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by VkPhysicalDevicePartitionedAccelerationStructureFeaturesNV, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.
