## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX - Structure describing shader enqueue limits of an implementation

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_AMDX_shader_enqueue
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        uint32_t           maxExecutionGraphDepth;
        uint32_t           maxExecutionGraphShaderOutputNodes;
        uint32_t           maxExecutionGraphShaderPayloadSize;
        uint32_t           maxExecutionGraphShaderPayloadCount;
        uint32_t           executionGraphDispatchAddressAlignment;
        uint32_t           maxExecutionGraphWorkgroupCount[3];
        uint32_t           maxExecutionGraphWorkgroups;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX;

## Members

The members of the `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX` structure describe the following limits:

## Description

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `maxExecutionGraphDepth` defines the maximum node chain depth in the graph. The dispatched node is at depth 1 and the node enqueued by it is at depth 2, and so on. If a node enqueues itself, each recursive enqueue increases the depth by 1 as well.

- `maxExecutionGraphShaderOutputNodes` specifies the maximum number of unique nodes that can be dispatched from a single shader, and must be at least 256.

- `maxExecutionGraphShaderPayloadSize` specifies the maximum total size of payload declarations in a shader. For any payload declarations that share resources, indicated by `NodeSharesPayloadLimitsWithAMDX` decorations, the maximum size of each set of shared payload declarations is taken. The sum of each shared set’s maximum size and the size of each unshared payload is counted against this limit.

- `maxExecutionGraphShaderPayloadCount` specifies the maximum number of output payloads that can be initialized in a single workgroup.

- `executionGraphDispatchAddressAlignment` specifies the alignment of non-scratch VkDeviceAddress arguments consumed by graph dispatch commands.

- `maxExecutionGraphWorkgroupCount`[3] is the maximum number of local workgroups that a shader can be dispatched with in X, Y, and Z dimensions, respectively.

- `maxExecutionGraphWorkgroups` is the total number of local workgroups that a shader can be dispatched with.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each corresponding implementation-dependent property.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_ENQUEUE_PROPERTIES_AMDX
