\page VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation
VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation is a Vulkan extension which can be used to improve
performance on some GPUs. It augments Vulkan API with possibility to query
driver whether it prefers particular buffer or image to have its own, dedicated
allocation (separate `VkDeviceMemory` block) for better efficiency - to be able
to do some internal optimizations.
The extension is supported by this library. It will be used automatically when
enabled. To enable it:
1 . When creating Vulkan device, check if following 2 device extensions are
supported (call `vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties()`).
If yes, enable them (fill `VkDeviceCreateInfo::ppEnabledExtensionNames`).
- VK_KHR_get_memory_requirements2
- VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation
If you enabled these extensions:
2 . Query device for pointers to following 2 extension functions, using
`vkGetDeviceProcAddr()`. Pass them in structure VmaVulkanFunctions while creating
your `VmaAllocator`.
- `vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements2KHR`
- `vkGetImageMemoryRequirements2KHR`
Other members of this structure can be null as long as you leave
`VMA_STATIC_VULKAN_FUNCTIONS` defined to 1, which is the default.
\code
VmaVulkanFunctions vulkanFunctions = {};
vulkanFunctions.vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements2KHR =
(PFN_vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements2KHR)vkGetDeviceProcAddr(device, "vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements2KHR");
vulkanFunctions.vkGetImageMemoryRequirements2KHR =
(PFN_vkGetImageMemoryRequirements2KHR)vkGetDeviceProcAddr(device, "vkGetImageMemoryRequirements2KHR");
VmaAllocatorCreateInfo allocatorInfo = {};
allocatorInfo.pVulkanFunctions = &vulkanFunctions;
// Fill other members of allocatorInfo...
\endcode
3 . Use `VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_KHR_DEDICATED_ALLOCATION_BIT` flag when creating
your `VmaAllocator` to inform the library that you enabled required extensions
and you want the library to use them.
\code
allocatorInfo.flags |= VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_KHR_DEDICATED_ALLOCATION_BIT;
vmaCreateAllocator(&allocatorInfo, &allocator);
\endcode
That's all. The extension will be automatically used whenever you create a
buffer using vmaCreateBuffer() or image using vmaCreateImage().
