## Name

VkPerformanceCounterScopeKHR - Supported counter scope types

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Performance counters have an associated scope. This scope describes the granularity of a performance counter.

The performance counter scope types which may be returned in VkPerformanceCounterKHR::`scope` are:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_performance_query
    typedef enum VkPerformanceCounterScopeKHR {
        VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_COMMAND_BUFFER_KHR = 0,
        VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_RENDER_PASS_KHR = 1,
        VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_COMMAND_KHR = 2,
        VK_QUERY_SCOPE_COMMAND_BUFFER_KHR = VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_COMMAND_BUFFER_KHR,
        VK_QUERY_SCOPE_RENDER_PASS_KHR = VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_RENDER_PASS_KHR,
        VK_QUERY_SCOPE_COMMAND_KHR = VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_COMMAND_KHR,
    } VkPerformanceCounterScopeKHR;

## Description

- `VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_COMMAND_BUFFER_KHR` - the performance counter scope is a single complete command buffer.

- `VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_RENDER_PASS_KHR` - the performance counter scope is zero or more complete render passes. The performance query containing the performance counter must begin and end outside a render pass instance.

- `VK_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_SCOPE_COMMAND_KHR` - the performance counter scope is zero or more commands.
