VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV - Structure describing the external memory RDMA features supported by the implementation

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NV_external_memory_rdma
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           externalMemoryRDMA;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

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

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

- `externalMemoryRDMA` indicates whether the implementation has support for the VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_RDMA_CAPABLE_BIT_NV memory property and the VK_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_HANDLE_TYPE_RDMA_ADDRESS_BIT_NV external memory handle type.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryRDMAFeaturesNV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_RDMA_FEATURES_NV

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo

  - VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
