Members
The members of the VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCorePropertiesAMD
structure
describe the following implementation-dependent limits:
Description
-
sType
is the type of this structure. -
pNext
isNULL
or a pointer to an extension-specific structure. -
shaderEngineCount
is an unsigned integer value indicating the number of shader engines found inside the shader core of the physical device. -
shaderArraysPerEngineCount
is an unsigned integer value indicating the number of shader arrays inside a shader engine. Each shader array has its own scan converter, set of compute units, and a render back end (color and depth buffers). Shader arrays within a shader engine share shader processor input (wave launcher) and shader export (export buffer) units. Currently, a shader engine can have one or two shader arrays. -
computeUnitsPerShaderArray
is an unsigned integer value indicating the physical number of compute units within a shader array. The active number of compute units in a shader array may be lower. A compute unit houses a set of SIMDs along with a sequencer module and a local data store. -
simdPerComputeUnit
is an unsigned integer value indicating the number of SIMDs inside a compute unit. Each SIMD processes a single instruction at a time. -
wavefrontSize
is an unsigned integer value indicating the maximum size of a subgroup. -
sgprsPerSimd
is an unsigned integer value indicating the number of physical Scalar General Purpose Registers (SGPRs) per SIMD. -
minSgprAllocation
is an unsigned integer value indicating the minimum number of SGPRs allocated for a wave. -
maxSgprAllocation
is an unsigned integer value indicating the maximum number of SGPRs allocated for a wave. -
sgprAllocationGranularity
is an unsigned integer value indicating the granularity of SGPR allocation for a wave. -
vgprsPerSimd
is an unsigned integer value indicating the number of physical Vector General Purpose Registers (VGPRs) per SIMD. -
minVgprAllocation
is an unsigned integer value indicating the minimum number of VGPRs allocated for a wave. -
maxVgprAllocation
is an unsigned integer value indicating the maximum number of VGPRs allocated for a wave. -
vgprAllocationGranularity
is an unsigned integer value indicating the granularity of VGPR allocation for a wave.
If the VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCorePropertiesAMD
structure is included
in the pNext
chain of VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled
with the implementation-dependent limits.
