VkBufferView

VkBufferView is a Vulkan API object that represents a view into a memory buffer. It is used to map a range of the buffer's memory to a specific region of the host's virtual address space, allowing for efficient access to buffer data.

A VkBufferView is created by the application and is associated with a buffer object. The buffer object can be a Vulkan buffer, and the view can be used to access the buffer's memory using the Vulkan API. The view is also associated with a range of the buffer's memory, specified by the buffer's offset and the size of the view.

VkBufferView is a critical concept in the Vulkan graphics API, as it enables the efficient transfer of buffer data between the host and the graphics processing unit (GPU). It is typically used in combination with Vulkan buffer objects and command buffers to support rendering, computations, and other graphics operations.

VkBufferView objects can be used to pin a range of a buffer's memory in virtual address space for access by the host. This allows the host to bypass the need to constantly request buffer updates from the device, which in turn allows for betterread throughput and synchronization between host and device.

Vkbufferview can also be used to implement hardware queues and last emit batching.VkBufferview is a low-level apivolatile handle. Its memory is managed through vulkan driver and can be in use from timing point of view but its apientry specifically controls mains frontendchartInstance of bitstreamStoragelomou
