C Specification

To copy device memory to an acceleration structure call:

void vkCmdCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureKHR(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    const VkCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureInfoKHR* pInfo);

Parameters

This command can accept acceleration structures produced by either vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR or vkCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR.

Description

The structure provided as input to deserialize is as described in vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR, with any acceleration structure handles filled in with the newly-queried handles to bottom level acceleration structures created before deserialization. These do not need to be built at deserialize time, but must be created.

Valid Usage
  • All VkDeviceOrHostAddressKHR referenced by this command must contain valid device addresses for a buffer bound to device memory. If the buffer is non-sparse then it must be bound completely and contiguously to a single VkDeviceMemory object

  • All VkAccelerationStructureKHR objects referenced by this command must be bound to device memory

  • The VkDeferredOperationInfoKHR structure must not be included in the pNext chain of the VkCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureInfoKHR structure

  • mode must be VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_DESERIALIZE_KHR

  • The data in pInfo->src must have a format compatible with the destination physical device as returned by vkGetDeviceAccelerationStructureCompatibilityKHR

Valid Usage (Implicit)
Host Synchronization
  • Host access to the VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must be externally synchronized
