Function Prototype

vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV

Write acceleration structure result parameters to query results.
primary / secondary
outside
compute
action

To query acceleration structure size parameters call:

void vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV(
    VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
    uint32_t accelerationStructureCount,
    const VkAccelerationStructureNV* pAccelerationStructures,
    VkQueryType queryType,
    VkQueryPool queryPool,
    uint32_t firstQuery);
  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.
  • accelerationStructureCount is the count of acceleration structures for which to query the property.
  • pAccelerationStructures is a pointer to an array of existing previously built acceleration structures.
  • queryType is a VkQueryType value specifying the type of queries managed by the pool.
  • queryPool is the query pool that will manage the results of the query.
  • firstQuery is the first query index within the query pool that will contain the accelerationStructureCount number of results.

Accesses to any of the acceleration structures listed in pAccelerationStructures must be synchronized with the VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR

pipeline stage and an access type of VK_ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_READ_BIT_KHR.

Valid Usage

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-queryPool-03755

queryPool must have been created with a queryType matching queryType

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-queryPool-03756

The queries identified by queryPool and firstQuery must be unavailable

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-accelerationStructure-03757

accelerationStructure must be bound completely and contiguously to a single VkDeviceMemory object via vkBindAccelerationStructureMemoryNV

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-pAccelerationStructures-04958

All acceleration structures in pAccelerationStructures must have been built prior to the execution of this command

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-pAccelerationStructures-06215

All acceleration structures in pAccelerationStructures must have been built with VK_BUILD_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_ALLOW_COMPACTION_BIT_KHR if queryType is VK_QUERY_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COMPACTED_SIZE_NV

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-queryType-06216

queryType must be VK_QUERY_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COMPACTED_SIZE_NV

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-pAccelerationStructures-parameter

pAccelerationStructures must be a valid pointer to an array of accelerationStructureCount valid VkAccelerationStructureNV handles

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-commandBuffer-cmdpool

The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support compute operations

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-renderpass

This command must only be called outside of a render pass instance

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-videocoding

This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

VUID-vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV-commonparent

Each of commandBuffer, queryPool, and the elements of pAccelerationStructures must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice

Host Synchronization

  • Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized
  • Host access to the VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must be externally synchronized ::
