Crate vulkan_malloc

This crate provides an implementation of a general purpose device memory allocator that should cover common use cases for Vulkan-based applications, while minimising the frequency of actual allocations of memory blocks from the Vulkan runtime.

This crate is heavily based on the C++ library VulkanMemoryAllocator from AMD.

For more details about the rationale and implementation of this library, please see the documentation of VulkanMemoryAllocator.

Allocator itself is thread-safe - it is both Send and Sync.

Structs

• Allocator
  Thread-safe device memory allocator
• AllocatorBuilder
  Used to construct an Allocator using the builder pattern.
• AllocatorMemoryRequirements
  In addition to normal MemoryRequirements, this struct provides additional details affecting how the allocator chooses memory to allocate.

Enums

• MemoryUsage
  Specifies how memory will be used with respect to transfers between the device and the host.
