## Description

This extension enables the Non Uniform Group Operations in SPIR-V to support 8-bit integer, 16-bit integer, 64-bit integer, 16-bit floating-point, and vectors of these types.

## Promotion to Vulkan 1.2

All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.2, with the KHR suffix omitted. The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

## New Structures

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, VkDeviceCreateInfo:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceShaderSubgroupExtendedTypesFeaturesKHR

## New Enum Constants

- `VK_KHR_SHADER_SUBGROUP_EXTENDED_TYPES_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_KHR_SHADER_SUBGROUP_EXTENDED_TYPES_SPEC_VERSION`

- Extending VkStructureType:

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_SUBGROUP_EXTENDED_TYPES_FEATURES_KHR`

## Version History

- Revision 1, 2019-01-08 (Neil Henning)
