VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo(3)

# VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo - Specify a system wide priority

## C Specification

Queues can be created with a system-wide priority by adding a `VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo` structure to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceQueueCreateInfo.

The `VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    typedef struct VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType          sType;
        const void*              pNext;
        VkQueueGlobalPriority    globalPriority;
    } VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo;

    // Provided by VK_KHR_global_priority
    // Equivalent to VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo
    typedef VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfoKHR;

    // Provided by VK_EXT_global_priority
    // Equivalent to VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo
    typedef VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `globalPriority` is the system-wide priority associated to these queues as specified by VkQueueGlobalPriority

## Description

Queues created without specifying `VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo` will default to VK_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_MEDIUM.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_CREATE_INFO

- VUID-VkDeviceQueueGlobalPriorityCreateInfo-globalPriority-parameter
  `globalPriority` must be a valid VkQueueGlobalPriority value

Structure Chaining
