Struct vulkano::device::physical::PhysicalDevice

pub struct PhysicalDevice<'a> { /* fields omitted */ }

Represents one of the available devices on this machine.

This struct simply contains a pointer to an instance and a number representing the physical device. You are therefore encouraged to pass this around by value instead of by reference.

Example

use vulkano::device::physical::PhysicalDevice;

for physical_device in PhysicalDevice::enumerate(&instance) {
    print_infos(physical_device);
}

fn print_infos(dev: PhysicalDevice) {
    println!("Name: {}", dev.properties().device_name);
}

Implementations

impl<'a> PhysicalDevice<'a>

pub fn enumerate(
    instance: &'a Arc<Instance>
) -> impl ExactSizeIterator<Item = PhysicalDevice<'a>>

Returns an iterator that enumerates the physical devices available.

Example

use vulkano::device::physical::PhysicalDevice;

for physical_device in PhysicalDevice::enumerate(&instance) {
    println!("Available device: {}", physical_device.properties().device_name);
}

pub fn from_index(
    instance: &'a Arc<Instance>,
    index: usize
) -> Option<PhysicalDevice<'a>>

Returns a physical device from its index. Returns None if out of range.

Indices range from 0 to the number of devices.

Example

use vulkano::instance::Instance;
use vulkano::instance::InstanceExtensions;
use vulkano::device::physical::PhysicalDevice;
use vulkano::Version;

let instance = Instance::new(None, Version::V1_1, &InstanceExtensions::none(), None).unwrap();
let first_physical_device = PhysicalDevice::from_index(&instance, 0).unwrap();

pub fn instance(&self) -> &'a Arc<Instance>

Returns the instance corresponding to this physical device.

Example

use vulkano::device::physical::PhysicalDevice;

fn do_something(physical_device: PhysicalDevice) {
    let _loaded_extensions = physical_device.instance().enabled_extensions();
    // ...
}

pub fn index(&self) -> usize

Returns the index of the physical device in the physical devices list.

This index never changes and can be used later to retrieve a PhysicalDevice from an instance and an index.

pub fn api_version(&self) -> Version

Returns the version of Vulkan supported by this device.

Unlike the api_version property, which is the version reported by the device directly, this function returns the version the device can actually support, based on the instance’s, max_api_version.

pub fn supported_extensions(&self) -> &'a DeviceExtensions

Returns the extensions that are supported by this physical device.

pub fn required_extensions(&self) -> &'a DeviceExtensions

Returns the extensions that must be enabled as a minimum when creating a Device from this physical device.

pub fn properties(&self) -> &'a Properties

Returns the properties reported by the device.

pub fn supported_features(&self) -> &'a Features

Returns the features that are supported by this physical device.

pub fn memory_types(&self) -> impl ExactSizeIterator<Item = MemoryType<'a>>

Builds an iterator that enumerates all the memory types on this physical device.

pub fn memory_type_by_id(&self, id: u32) -> Option<MemoryType<'a>>

Returns the memory type with the given index, or None if out of range.

pub fn memory_heaps(&self) -> impl ExactSizeIterator<Item = MemoryHeap<'a>>

Builds an iterator that enumerates all the memory heaps on this physical device.

pub fn memory_heap_by_id(&self, id: u32) -> Option<MemoryHeap<'a>>

Returns the memory heap with the given index, or None if out of range.

pub fn queue_families(&self) -> impl ExactSizeIterator<Item = QueueFamily<'a>>

Builds an iterator that enumerates all the queue families on this physical device.

pub fn queue_family_by_id(&self, id: u32) -> Option<QueueFamily<'a>>

Returns the queue family with the given index, or None if out of range.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Clone for PhysicalDevice<'a>

fn clone(&self) -> PhysicalDevice<'a>

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<'a> Debug for PhysicalDevice<'a>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'a> VulkanObject for PhysicalDevice<'a>

type Object = PhysicalDevice

The type of the object.

fn internal_object(&self) -> PhysicalDevice

Returns a reference to the object.
