vkCmdDecompressMemoryIndirectCountEXT(3)

Name

vkCmdDecompressMemoryIndirectCountEXT - Indirect decompress data between memory regions

C Specification

To decompress data between one or more memory regions by specifying decompression parameters indirectly in a buffer, call:

// Provided by VK_EXT_memory_decompression
void vkCmdDecompressMemoryIndirectCountEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkMemoryDecompressionMethodFlagsEXT         decompressionMethod,
    VkDeviceAddress                             indirectCommandsAddress,
    VkDeviceAddress                             indirectCommandsCountAddress,
    uint32_t                                    maxDecompressionCount,
    uint32_t                                    stride);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.

  • decompressionMethod is a bitmask of VkMemoryDecompressionMethodFlagBitsEXT with a single bit set specifying the method used to decompress data.

  • indirectCommandsAddress is the device address containing decompression parameters laid out as an array of VkDecompressMemoryRegionEXT structures.

  • indirectCommandsCountAddress is the device address containing a 32-bit integer value specifying the decompression count.

  • maxDecompressionCount is maximum number of decompressions that will be executed. The actual number of executed decompressions is the minimum of the count specified in indirectCommandsCountAddress and maxDecompressionCount.

  • stride is the byte stride between successive sets of decompression parameters located starting from indirectCommandsAddress.

Description

Each region specified in indirectCommandsAddress is decompressed from the source to destination region based on the specified decompressionMethod.
