C Specification
To copy a micromap to device memory call:
// Provided by VK_EXT_opacity_micromap
void vkCmdCopyMicromapToMemoryEXT(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
const VkCopyMicromapToMemoryInfoEXT* pInfo);
Parameters
-
commandBufferis the command buffer into which the command will be recorded. -
pInfois an a pointer to a VkCopyMicromapToMemoryInfoEXT structure defining the copy operation.
Description
Accesses to pInfo->src must be synchronized with the VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_MICROMAP_BUILD_BIT_EXT
pipeline stage and an
access type of
VK_ACCESS_2_MICROMAP_READ_BIT_EXT.
Accesses to the buffer indicated by pInfo->dst.deviceAddress must be
synchronized with the VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_MICROMAP_BUILD_BIT_EXT
pipeline stage and an access type of VK_ACCESS_TRANSFER_WRITE_BIT.
This command produces the same results as vkCopyMicromapToMemoryEXT, but writes its result to a device address, and is executed on the device rather than the host. The output may not necessarily be bit-for-bit identical, but it can be equally used by either vkCmdCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT or vkCopyMemoryToMicromapEXT.
The defined header structure for the serialized data consists of:
-
VK_UUID_SIZEbytes of data matchingVkPhysicalDeviceIDProperties::driverUUID -
VK_UUID_SIZEbytes of data identifying the compatibility for comparison using vkGetDeviceMicromapCompatibilityEXT The serialized data is written to the buffer (or read from the buffer) according to the host endianness.
