Package org.lwjgl.vulkan

Class NVExternalMemory

java.lang.Object

org.lwjgl.vulkan.NVExternalMemory

public final class NVExternalMemory
extends java.lang.Object

Applications may wish to export memory to other Vulkan instances or other APIs, or import memory from other Vulkan instances or other APIs to enable Vulkan workloads to be split up across application module, process, or API boundaries. This extension enables applications to create exportable Vulkan memory objects such that the underlying resources can be referenced outside the Vulkan instance that created them.
