public class KHRAccelerationStructure
extends Object

In order to be efficient, rendering techniques such as ray tracing need a quick way to identify which primitives may be intersected by a ray traversing the geometries. Acceleration structures are the most common way to represent the geometry spatially sorted, in order to quickly identify such potential intersections.

This extension adds new functionalities:

• Acceleration structure objects and build commands
• Structures to describe geometry inputs to acceleration structure builds
• Acceleration structure copy commands

Method Details

nvkCreateAccelerationStructureKHR

public static int nvkCreateAccelerationStructureKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkDevice device,
 long pCreateInfo,
 long pAllocator,
 long pAccelerationStructure)

Unsafe version of: CreateAccelerationStructureKHR

vkCreateAccelerationStructureKHR

public static int vkCreateAccelerationStructureKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkDevice device,
 VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR pCreateInfo,
 @Nullable VkAllocationCallbacks pAllocator,
 LongBuffer pAccelerationStructure)

Create a new acceleration structure object.

C Specification

To create an acceleration structure, call:

 VkResult vkCreateAccelerationStructureKHR(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     const VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR* pCreateInfo,
     const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
     VkAccelerationStructureKHR*                 pAccelerationStructure);

Description

Similar to other objects in Vulkan, the acceleration structure creation merely creates an object with a specific “shape”. The type and quantity of geometry that can be built into an acceleration structure is determined by the parameters of VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR.

The acceleration structure data is stored in the object referred to by VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR::buffer. Once memory has been bound to that buffer, it must be populated by acceleration structure build or acceleration structure copy commands such as CmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR, BuildAccelerationStructuresKHR, CmdCopyAccelerationStructureKHR, and CopyAccelerationStructureKHR.

Note

The expected usage for a trace capture/replay tool is that it will serialize and later deserialize the acceleration structure data using acceleration structure copy commands. During capture the tool will use CopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR or CmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR with a mode of COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_SERIALIZE_KHR, and CopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureKHR or CmdCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureKHR with a mode of COPY_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_DESERIALIZE_KHR during replay.

Note

Memory does not need to be bound to the underlying buffer when CreateAccelerationStructureKHR is called.

The input buffers passed to acceleration structure build commands will be referenced by the implementation for the duration of the command. After the command completes, the acceleration structure may hold a reference to any acceleration structure specified by an active instance contained therein. Apart from this referencing, acceleration structures must be fully self-contained. The application can reuse or free any memory which was used by the command as an input or as scratch without affecting the results of ray traversal.

Valid Usage

• The VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructureFeaturesKHR::accelerationStructure feature must be enabled
• If VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR::deviceAddress is not zero, the accelerationStructureCaptureReplay feature must be enabled
• If device was created with multiple physical devices, then the bufferDeviceAddressMultiDevice feature must be enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR structure
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
• pAccelerationStructure must be a valid pointer to a VkAccelerationStructureKHR handle

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_INVALID_OPAQUE_CAPTURE_ADDRESS_KHR

See Also

VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR, VkAllocationCallbacks

Parameters:

device - the logical device that creates the acceleration structure object.

nvkDestroyAccelerationStructureKHR

public static void nvkDestroyAccelerationStructureKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkDevice device,
 long accelerationStructure,
 long pAllocator)

Unsafe version of: DestroyAccelerationStructureKHR

vkDestroyAccelerationStructureKHR

public static void vkDestroyAccelerationStructureKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkDevice device,
 long accelerationStructure,
 @Nullable VkAllocationCallbacks pAllocator)

 void vkDestroyAccelerationStructureKHR(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     VkAccelerationStructureKHR                  accelerationStructure,
     const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

Valid Usage

• The VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructureFeaturesKHR::accelerationStructure feature must be enabled
• All submitted commands that refer to accelerationStructure must have completed execution
• If VkAllocationCallbacks were provided when accelerationStructure was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here
• If no VkAllocationCallbacks were provided when accelerationStructure was created, pAllocator must be NULL

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• If accelerationStructure is not NULL_HANDLE, accelerationStructure must be a valid VkAccelerationStructureKHR handle
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
• If accelerationStructure is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from device

nvkCmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR

public static void nvkCmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
 int infoCount,
 long pInfos,
 long ppBuildRangeInfos)

Unsafe version of: CmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR

Parameters:

infoCount - the number of acceleration structures to build. It specifies the number of the pInfos structures and ppBuildRangeInfos pointers that must be provided.

vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR

public static void vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
 VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR.Buffer pInfos,
 org.lwjgl.PointerBuffer ppBuildRangeInfos)

Build an acceleration structure.

C Specification

To build acceleration structures call:

 void vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR(
     VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
     uint32_t                                    infoCount,
     const VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR* pInfos,
     const VkAccelerationStructureBuildRangeInfoKHR* const* ppBuildRangeInfos);

Description

The vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR command provides the ability to initiate multiple acceleration structures builds, however there is no ordering or synchronization implied between any of the individual acceleration structure builds.

Note

This means that an application cannot build a top-level acceleration structure in the same CmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR call as the associated bottom-level or instance acceleration structures are being built. There also cannot be any memory aliasing between any acceleration structure memories or scratch memories being used by any of the builds.

Accesses to the acceleration structure scratch buffers as identified by the VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR::scratchData buffer device addresses must be synchronized with the PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR pipeline stage and an access type of (ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_READ_BIT_KHR | ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_WRITE_BIT_KHR). Accesses to each VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR::srcAccelerationStructure and VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR::dstAccelerationStructure must be synchronized with the PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR pipeline stage and an access type of ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_READ_BIT_KHR or ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_WRITE_BIT_KHR, as appropriate.

Accesses to other input buffers as identified by any used values of VkAccelerationStructureGeometryMotionTrianglesDataNV::vertexData, VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR::vertexData, VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR::indexData, VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR::transformData, VkAccelerationStructureGeometryAabbsDataKHR::data, and VkAccelerationStructureGeometryInstancesDataKHR::data must be synchronized with the PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR pipeline stage and an access type of ACCESS_SHADER_READ_BIT.

nvkBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR

public static int nvkBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkDevice device,
 long deferredOperation,
 int infoCount,
 long pInfos,
 long ppBuildRangeInfos)

Unsafe version of: BuildAccelerationStructuresKHR

Parameters:

infoCount - the number of acceleration structures to build. It specifies the number of the pInfos structures and ppBuildRangeInfos pointers that must be provided.

vkBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR

public static int vkBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkDevice device,
 long deferredOperation,
 VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR.Buffer pInfos,
 org.lwjgl.PointerBuffer ppBuildRangeInfos)

Build an acceleration structure on the host.

C Specification

To build acceleration structures on the host, call:

 VkResult vkBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     VkDeferredOperationKHR                      deferredOperation,

     const VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR* pInfos,
     const VkAccelerationStructureBuildRangeInfoKHR* const* ppBuildRangeInfos);

Description

This command fulfills the same task as CmdBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR but is executed by the host.

The vkBuildAccelerationStructuresKHR command provides the ability to initiate multiple acceleration structures builds, however there is no ordering or synchronization implied between any of the individual acceleration structure builds.

Note

This means that an application cannot build a top-level acceleration structure in the same BuildAccelerationStructuresKHR call as the associated bottom-level or instance acceleration structures are being built. There also cannot be any memory aliasing between any acceleration structure memories or scratch memories being used by any of the builds.

Accesses to pInfo→src and pInfo→dst must be synchronized with the PIPELINE_STAGE_2_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COPY_BIT_KHR pipeline stage or the PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR pipeline stage, and an access type of ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_READ_BIT_KHR or ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_WRITE_BIT_KHR as appropriate.

Valid Usage

• The VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructureFeaturesKHR::accelerationStructure feature must be enabled
• The buffer used to create pInfo→src must be bound to device memory

nvkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR

public static void nvkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
 long pInfo)

Unsafe version of: CmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR

vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR

public static void vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
 VkCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryInfoKHR pInfo)

Copy an acceleration structure to device memory.

C Specification

To copy an acceleration structure to device memory call:

 void vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR(
     VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
     const VkCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryInfoKHR* pInfo);

Description

Accesses to pInfo→src must be synchronized with the PIPELINE_STAGE_2_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COPY_BIT_KHR pipeline stage or the PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR pipeline stage, and an access type of ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_READ_BIT_KHR. Accesses to the buffer indicated by pInfo→dst.deviceAddress must be synchronized with the PIPELINE_STAGE_2_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COPY_BIT_KHR pipeline stage or the PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR pipeline stage, and an and an access type of ACCESS_TRANSFER_WRITE_BIT.

This command produces the same results as CopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR, 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 CmdCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureKHR or CopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureKHR.

The defined header structure for the serialized data consists of:

• UUID_SIZE bytes of data matching VkPhysicalDeviceIDProperties::driverUUID
• UUID_SIZE bytes of data identifying the compatibility for comparison using GetDeviceAccelerationStructureCompatibilityKHR
• A 64-bit integer of the total size matching the value queried using QUERY_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_SERIALIZATION_SIZE_KHR
• A 64-bit integer of the deserialized size to be passed in to VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR::size
• A 64-bit integer of the count of the number of acceleration structure handles following. This value matches the value queried using QUERY_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_SERIALIZATION_BOTTOM_LEVEL_POINTERS_KHR. This will be zero for a bottom-level acceleration structure. For top-level acceleration structures this number is implementation-dependent; the number of and ordering of the handles may not match the instance descriptions which were used to build the acceleration structure.

The corresponding handles matching the values returned by GetAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressKHR or GetAccelerationStructureHandleNV are tightly packed in the buffer following the count. The application is expected to store a mapping between those handles and the original application-generated bottom-level acceleration structures to provide when deserializing. The serialized data is written to the buffer (or read from the buffer) according to the host endianness.

Valid Usage

• The VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructureFeaturesKHR::accelerationStructure feature must be enabled
• pInfo→dst.deviceAddress must be a valid device address for a buffer bound to device memory
• pInfo→dst.deviceAddress must be aligned to 256 bytes
• If the buffer pointed to by pInfo→dst.deviceAddress is non-sparse then it must be bound completely and contiguously to a single VkDeviceMemory object

vkCmdCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureKHR

public static void vkCmdCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
 VkCopyMemoryToAccelerationStructureInfoKHR pInfo)

Copy device memory to an acceleration structure.

C Specification

To copy device memory to an acceleration structure call:

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

Description

Accesses to pInfo→dst must be synchronized with the PIPELINE_STAGE_2_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COPY_BIT_KHR pipeline stage or the PIPELINE_STAGE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_BIT_KHR pipeline stage, and an access type of ACCESS_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_WRITE_BIT_KHR.

This command can accept acceleration structures produced by either CmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR or CopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR.

The structure provided as input to deserialize is as described in CmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR, 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.

Unsafe version of: GetAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressKHR

vkGetAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressKHR

public static long vkGetAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressKHR(org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkDevice device,
 VkAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressInfoKHR pInfo)

Query an address of an acceleration structure.

C Specification

To query the 64-bit device address for an acceleration structure, call:

 VkDeviceAddress vkGetAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressKHR(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     const VkAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressInfoKHR* pInfo);

Description

The 64-bit return value is an address of the acceleration structure, which can be used for device and shader operations that involve acceleration structures, such as ray traversal and acceleration structure building.

If the acceleration structure was created with a non-zero value of VkAccelerationStructureCreateInfoKHR::deviceAddress, the return value will be the same address.

If the acceleration structure was created with a type of ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_TYPE_GENERIC_KHR, the returned address must be consistent with the relative offset to other acceleration structures with type ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_TYPE_GENERIC_KHR allocated with the same VkBuffer. That is, the difference in returned addresses between the two must be the same as the difference in offsets provided at acceleration structure creation.

The returned address must be aligned to 256 bytes.

Note

The acceleration structure device address may be different from the buffer device address corresponding to the acceleration structure’s start offset in its storage buffer for acceleration structure types other than ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_TYPE_GENERIC_KHR.

Valid Usage

• The VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructureFeaturesKHR::accelerationStructure feature must be enabled
• If device was created with multiple physical devices, then the bufferDeviceAddressMultiDevice feature must be enabled
• If the buffer on which pInfo→accelerationStructure was placed is non-sparse then it must be bound completely and contiguously to a single VkDeviceMemory object
• The buffer on which pInfo→accelerationStructure was placed must have been created with the BUFFER_USAGE_SHADER_DEVICE_ADDRESS_BIT usage flag

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• pInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAccelerationStructureDeviceAddressInfoKHR structure

An acceleration structure created with the accelerationStructureSize returned by this command supports any build or update with a VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR structure and array of VkAccelerationStructureBuildRangeInfoKHR structures subject to the following properties:

• The build command is a host build command, and buildType is ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_TYPE_HOST_KHR or ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_TYPE_HOST_OR_DEVICE_KHR
• The build command is a device build command, and buildType is ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_TYPE_DEVICE_KHR or ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_TYPE_HOST_OR_DEVICE_KHR
• For VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR:
  • Its type, and flags members are equal to pBuildInfo→type and pBuildInfo→flags, respectively.
  • geometryCount is less than or equal to pBuildInfo→geometryCount.
  • For each element of either pGeometries or ppGeometries at a given index, its geometryType member is equal to pBuildInfo→geometryType.
  • For each element of either pGeometries or ppGeometries at a given index, its flags member is equal to the corresponding member of the same element in pBuildInfo.
  • For each element of either pGeometries or ppGeometries at a given index, with a geometryType member equal to GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_KHR, the vertexFormat and indexType members of geometry.triangles are equal to the corresponding members of the same element in pBuildInfo.
  • For each element of either pGeometries or ppGeometries at a given index, with a geometryType member equal to GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_KHR, the maxVertex member of geometry.triangles is less than or equal to the corresponding member of the same element in pBuildInfo.
  • For each element of either pGeometries or ppGeometries at a given index, with a geometryType member equal to GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_KHR, if the applicable address in the transformData member of geometry.triangles is not NULL, the corresponding transformData.hostAddress parameter in pBuildInfo is not NULL.
• For each VkAccelerationStructureBuildRangeInfoKHR corresponding to the VkAccelerationStructureBuildGeometryInfoKHR:
  • Its primitiveCount member is less than or equal to the corresponding element of pMaxPrimitiveCounts.
  • For each element of either pGeometries or ppGeometries at a given index, with a geometryType member equal to GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_KHR, if the pNext chain contains VkAccelerationStructureTrianglesOpacityMicromapEXT the corresponding member of pBuildInfo also contains VkAccelerationStructureTrianglesOpacityMicromapEXT and with an equivalent micromap.
  • For each element of either pGeometries or ppGeometries at a given index, with a geometryType member equal to GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_KHR, if the pNext chain contains VkAccelerationStructureTrianglesDisplacementMicromapNV the corresponding member of pBuildInfo also contains VkAccelerationStructureTrianglesDisplacementMicromapNV and with an equivalent micromap.

Similarly, the updateScratchSize value will support any build command specifying the BUILD_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_UPDATE_KHR mode under the above conditions, and the buildScratchSize value will support any build command specifying the BUILD_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_MODE_BUILD_KHR mode under the above conditions.
