C Specification
Possible values of mode
specifying additional operations to perform
during the copy, are:
// Provided by VK_KHR_ray_tracing
typedef enum VkCopyAccelerationStructureModeKHR {
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_CLONE_KHR = 0,
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_COMPACT_KHR = 1,
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_SERIALIZE_KHR = 2,
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_DESERIALIZE_KHR = 3,
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_CLONE_NV = VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_CLONE_KHR,
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_COMPACT_NV = VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_COMPACT_KHR,
} VkCopyAccelerationStructureModeKHR;
or the equivalent
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
typedef VkCopyAccelerationStructureModeKHR VkCopyAccelerationStructureModeNV;
Description
-
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_CLONE_KHR
creates a direct copy of the acceleration structure specified insrc
into the one specified bydst
. Thedst
acceleration structure must have been created with the same parameters assrc
. -
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_COMPACT_KHR
creates a more compact version of an acceleration structuresrc
intodst
. The acceleration structuredst
must have been created with acompactedSize
corresponding to the one returned by vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesKHR after the build of the acceleration structure specified bysrc
. -
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_SERIALIZE_KHR
serializes the acceleration structure to a semi-opaque format which can be reloaded on a compatible implementation. -
VK_COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_DESERIALIZE_KHR
deserializes the semi-opaque serialization format in the buffer to the acceleration structure.
