# VkExternalComputeQueueNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkExternalComputeQueueNV - Opaque handle to an external compute queue

## C Specification

External compute queues are used to join compatible external APIs to a `VkDevice`, allowing workloads submitted through these external APIs to be executed simultaneously to workloads submitted through Vulkan.

External compute queues are represented by `VkExternalComputeQueueNV` handles:

    // Provided by VK_NV_external_compute_queue
    VK_DEFINE_HANDLE(VkExternalComputeQueueNV)
