Vulkan | |
The VulkanDevice type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ApiVersion | |
| AutomaticallyDisposeSurface | |
| BackgroundGraphicsQueue | Gets a Graphics Queue that can be used to process graphics commands pon the background thread. This queue is available only when GPU supports more than one graphics queue and when EnableBackgroundResourceUpload is true (by default). |
| BackgroundTransferQueue | Gets the Transfer Queue that can be used on the background thread to execute transfer commands. This queue is set available only when the GPU supports transfer queue and when EnableBackgroundResourceUpload is true (by default). |
| CreateOptions | |
| DebugUtils | |
| DefaultBitmapIO | Gets or sets the default (or fallback) BitmapIO that is used to read (and write) images. By default this is set to an instance of PngBitmapIO. This can be changed by the user to some other IBitmapIO implementation. |
| DefaultSurface | |
| DefaultSurfaceDetails | |
| Device | |
| EnabledDeviceExtensionNames | Gets an array of Device extension names that are enabled for this device. To quickly check if an extension is enabled, you can also check the EnabledDeviceExtensions property (note that this does not include all extensions but only extensions that are supported by SharpEngine). |
| EnabledDeviceExtensions | Gets a SupportedDeviceExtensions that can be used to quickly check which Device Extensions are enabled on this device. This value can include only extension names that are supported by SharpEngine (and defined in SupportedDeviceExtensions enum). This value includes also extensions that are promoted to the current Vulkan API (and are not explicitly specified in the EnabledDeviceExtensionNames array). To get an array of all enabled extensions see the EnabledDeviceExtensionNames. |
| EnabledFeatures | Gets PhysicalDeviceFeatures struct with features that were actually enabled when creating the VulkanDevice. To get features that are possible on the physical device see the EnabledFeatures. To enable some of the features when creating the VulkanDevice use the SetupRequestedDeviceFeatures. |
| EnabledLineRasterizationFeatures | Gets line rasterization features that were enabled when the device was created. |
| GpuName | Gets the name of the used device (graphics card). |
| GraphicsCommandPool | |
| GraphicsQueue | Gets the main Graphics Queue that is used on the main thread to process all graphics commands. This queue is always available. |
| GraphicsQueuesCount | |
| HasTransferQueueFamily | |
| IsBackgroundBufferUploadSupported | True when this GPU device supports a separate transfer queue. This allows uploading mesh buffers and images without mip-maps on the background transfer queue. Note that even if this property is true, some async functions also require that the SynchronizationContext.Current is not null so the code can continue a background task on the main thread. |
| IsBackgroundImageUploadSupported | True when this GPU device supports more than one graphics queue. This allows uploading images and generating mip-maps on the background graphics queue. Note that even if this property is true, some async functions also require that the SynchronizationContext.Current is not null so the code can continue a background task on the main thread. |
| IsDebugUtilsExtensionEnabled | |
| IsIntegratedGpu | When true, then this device is an integrated GPU (usually an Intel or AMD GPU that is integrated into the CPU). |
| IsLineRasterizationExtensionEnabled | True if LineRasterization extension is enabled when the device was created. |
| IsMemoryBudgetInfoAvailable | True if information about memory budget is available (API > 1.1 and VK_EXT_memory_budget device extension is enabled). |
| IsMemoryPrioritiesFeatureEnabled | True when device allows setting priorities to allocated memory. See VK_EXT_memory_priority Vulkan device extension for more info. |
| IsPageableDeviceLocalMemoryFeatureEnabled | True when that the pageable device-local memory is enabled. This will help the operating system page out lower priority memory allocations before higher priority allocations when needed. It will also help the operating system decide which memory allocations to page back into device-local memory first. See VK_EXT_pageable_device_local_memory Vulkan device extension for more info. |
| IsPrimarySystemDevice | Gets Boolean that specifies if this device is using the primary (default) system graphic card. |
| IsShaderShaderDebugPrintfExtensionEnabled | True if ShaderDebugPrintf extension is enabled when the device was created. |
| IsStandardValidationEnabled | |
| KhrSwapchainExt | |
| LineRasterizationExt | |
| MemoryAllocator | |
| PhysicalDevice | |
| PhysicalDeviceDetails | |
| QueueFamilyIndices | |
| SamplerFactory | |
| ShadersManager | |
| StagingGpuBuffer | StagingGpuBuffer can be used to batch copy data to the destination GpuBuffer by using the standard staging buffer. |
| TransferCommandPool | |
| TransferQueue | Gets the Transfer Queue that can be used on the main thread to execute transfer commands. This queue is set only when the GPU supports transfer queue and when EnableBackgroundResourceUpload is false (true by default). When EnableBackgroundResourceUpload is true, then BackgroundTransferQueue is created instead. This prevents using the same queue on main and background thread. |
| VertexBufferDescriptionsManager | |
| VulkanInstance |
