|
|
to apply specific residency priority to all allocations made in this pool:
|
|
`ID3D12Heap` memory blocks used to sub-allocate for placed resources, as well as
|
|
committed resources or heaps created when D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED is used.
|
|
This can increase/decrease chance that the memory will be pushed out from VRAM
|
|
to system RAM when the system runs out of memory, which is invisible to the developer
|
|
using D3D12 API while it can degrade performance.
|
|
|
|
Priority is set using function `ID3D12Device1::SetResidencyPriority`.
|
|
It is performed only when `ID3D12Device1` interface is defined and successfully obtained.
|
|
Otherwise, this parameter is ignored.
|
|
|
|
This parameter is optional. If you set it to `D3D12_RESIDENCY_PRIORITY(0)`,
|
|
residency priority will not be set for allocations made in this pool.
|
|
|
|
There is no equivalent parameter for allocations made in default pools.
|
|
If you want to set residency priority for such allocation, you need to do it manually:
|
|
allocate with D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED and call
|
|
`ID3D12Device1::SetResidencyPriority`, passing `allocation->GetResource()`.

\section quick_start_project_setup Project setup and initialization
|
|
|
|
This is a small, standalone C++ library. It consists of a pair of 2 files:
|
|
"D3D12MemAlloc.h" header file with public interface and "D3D12MemAlloc.cpp" with
|
|
internal implementation. The only external dependencies are WinAPI, Direct3D 12,
|
|
and parts of C/C++ standard library (but STL containers, exceptions, or RTTI are
|
|
not used).
|
|
|
|
The library is developed and tested using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, but it
|
|
should work with other compilers as well. It is designed for 64-bit code.
|
|
|
|
To use the library in your project:
|
|
|
|
(1.) Copy files `D3D12MemAlloc.cpp`, `%D3D12MemAlloc.h` to your project.
|
|
|
|
(2.) Make `D3D12MemAlloc.cpp` compiling as part of the project, as C++ code.
|
|
|
|
(3.) Include library header in each CPP file that needs to use the library.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
#include "D3D12MemAlloc.h"
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
(4.) Right after you created `ID3D12Device`, fill D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC
|
|
structure and call function D3D12MA::CreateAllocator to create the main
|
|
D3D12MA::Allocator object.
|
|
|
|
Please note that all symbols of the library are declared inside #D3D12MA namespace.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
IDXGIAdapter* adapter = (...)
|
|
ID3D12Device* device = (...)
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC allocatorDesc = {};
|
|
allocatorDesc.pDevice = device;
|
|
allocatorDesc.pAdapter = adapter;
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::Allocator* allocator;
|
|
HRESULT hr = D3D12MA::CreateAllocator(&allocatorDesc, &allocator);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
(5.) Right before destroying the D3D12 device, destroy the allocator object.
|
|
|
|
Objects of this library must be destroyed by calling `Release` method.
|
|
They are somewhat compatible with COM: they implement `IUnknown` interface with its virtual methods: `AddRef`, `Release`, `QueryInterface`,
|
|
and they are reference-counted internally.
|
|
You can use smart pointers designed for COM with objects of this library - e.g. `CComPtr` or `Microsoft::WRL::ComPtr`.
|
|
The reference counter is thread-safe.
|
|
`QueryInterface` method supports only `IUnknown`, as classes of this library don't define their own GUIDs.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
allocator->Release();
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section quick_start_creating_resources Creating resources
|
|
|
|
To use the library for creating resources (textures and buffers), call method
|
|
D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateResource in the place where you would previously call
|
|
`ID3D12Device::CreateCommittedResource`.
|
|
|
|
The function has similar syntax, but it expects structure D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC
|
|
to be passed along with `D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC` and other parameters for created
|
|
resource. This structure describes parameters of the desired memory allocation,
|
|
including choice of `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE`.
|
|
|
|
The function returns a new object of type D3D12MA::Allocation.
|
|
It represents allocated memory and can be queried for size, offset, `ID3D12Heap`.
|
|
It also holds a reference to the `ID3D12Resource`, which can be accessed by calling D3D12MA::Allocation::GetResource().
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resourceDesc = {};
|
|
resourceDesc.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
|
|
resourceDesc.Alignment = 0;
|
|
resourceDesc.Width = 1024;
|
|
resourceDesc.Height = 1024;
|
|
resourceDesc.DepthOrArraySize = 1;
|
|
resourceDesc.MipLevels = 1;
|
|
resourceDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
|
|
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
|
|
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
|
|
resourceDesc.Layout = D3D12_TEXTURE_LAYOUT_UNKNOWN;
|
|
resourceDesc.Flags = D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_NONE;
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC allocationDesc = {};
|
|
allocationDesc.HeapType = D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT;
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::Allocation* allocation;
|
|
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreateResource(
|
|
&allocationDesc,
|
|
&resourceDesc,
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COPY_DEST,
|
|
NULL,
|
|
&allocation,
|
|
IID_NULL, NULL);
|
|
|
|
// Use allocation->GetResource()...
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
You need to release the allocation object when no longer needed.
|
|
This will also release the D3D12 resource.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
allocation->Release();
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The advantage of using the allocator instead of creating committed resource, and
|
|
the main purpose of this library, is that it can decide to allocate bigger memory
|
|
heap internally using `ID3D12Device::CreateHeap` and place multiple resources in
|
|
it, at different offsets, using `ID3D12Device::CreatePlacedResource`. The library
|
|
manages its own collection of allocated memory blocks (heaps) and remembers which
|
|
parts of them are occupied and which parts are free to be used for new resources.
|
|
|
|
It is important to remember that resources created as placed don't have their memory
|
|
initialized to zeros, but may contain garbage data, so they need to be fully initialized
|
|
before usage, e.g. using Clear (`ClearRenderTargetView`), Discard (`DiscardResource`),
|
|
or copy (`CopyResource`).
|
|
|
|
The library also automatically handles resource heap tier.
|
|
When `D3D12_FEATURE_DATA_D3D12_OPTIONS::ResourceHeapTier` equals `D3D12_RESOURCE_HEAP_TIER_1`,
|
|
resources of 3 types: buffers, textures that are render targets or depth-stencil,
|
|
and other textures must be kept in separate heaps. When `D3D12_RESOURCE_HEAP_TIER_2`,
|
|
they can be kept together. By using this library, you don't need to handle this
|
|
manually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section quick_start_resource_reference_counting Resource reference counting
|
|
|
|
`ID3D12Resource` and other interfaces of Direct3D 12 use COM, so they are reference-counted.
|
|
Objects of this library are reference-counted as well.
|
|
An object of type D3D12MA::Allocation remembers the resource (buffer or texture)
|
|
that was created together with this memory allocation
|
|
and holds a reference to the `ID3D12Resource` object.
|
|
(Note this is a difference to Vulkan Memory Allocator, where a `VmaAllocation` object has no connection
|
|
with the buffer or image that was created with it.)
|
|
Thus, it is important to manage the resource reference counter properly.
|
|
|
|
<b>The simplest use case</b> is shown in the code snippet above.
|
|
When only D3D12MA::Allocation object is obtained from a function call like D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateResource,
|
|
it remembers the `ID3D12Resource` that was created with it and holds a reference to it.
|
|
The resource can be obtained by calling `allocation->GetResource()`, which doesn't increment the resource
|
|
reference counter.
|
|
Calling `allocation->Release()` will decrease the resource reference counter, which is = 1 in this case,
|
|
so the resource will be released.
|
|
|
|
<b>Second option</b> is to retrieve a pointer to the resource along with D3D12MA::Allocation.
|
|
Last parameters of the resource creation function can be used for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12MA::Allocation* allocation;
|
|
ID3D12Resource* resource;
|
|
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreateResource(
|
|
&allocationDesc,
|
|
&resourceDesc,
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COPY_DEST,
|
|
NULL,
|
|
&allocation,
|
|
IID_PPV_ARGS(&resource));
|
|
|
|
// Use resource...
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
In this case, returned pointer `resource` is equal to `allocation->GetResource()`,
|
|
but the creation function additionally increases resource reference counter for the purpose of returning it from this call
|
|
(it actually calls `QueryInterface` internally), so the resource will have the counter = 2.
|
|
The resource then need to be released along with the allocation, in this particular order,
|
|
to make sure the resource is destroyed before its memory heap can potentially be freed.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
resource->Release();
|
|
allocation->Release();
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
<b>More advanced use cases</b> are possible when we consider that an D3D12MA::Allocation object can just hold
|
|
a reference to any resource.
|
|
It can be changed by calling D3D12MA::Allocation::SetResource. This function
|
|
releases the old resource and calls `AddRef` on the new one.
|
|
|
|
Special care must be taken when performing <b>defragmentation</b>.
|
|
The new resource created at the destination place should be set as `pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->SetResource(newRes)`,
|
|
but it is moved to the source allocation at end of the defragmentation pass,
|
|
while the old resource accessible through `pass.pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation->GetResource()` is then released.
|
|
For more information, see documentation chapter \ref defragmentation.
|
|
|

|
\section quick_start_mapping_memory Mapping memory
|
|
|
|
The process of getting regular CPU-side pointer to the memory of a resource in
|
|
Direct3D is called "mapping". There are rules and restrictions to this process,
|
|
as described in D3D12 documentation of `ID3D12Resource::Map` method.
|
|
|
|
Mapping happens on the level of particular resources, not entire memory heaps,
|
|
and so it is out of scope of this library. Just as the documentation of the `Map` function says:
|
|
|
|
- Returned pointer refers to data of particular subresource, not entire memory heap.
|
|
- You can map same resource multiple times. It is ref-counted internally.
|
|
- Mapping is thread-safe.
|
|
- Unmapping is not required before resource destruction.
|
|
- Unmapping may not be required before using written data - some heap types on
|
|
some platforms support resources persistently mapped.
|
|
|
|
When using this library, you can map and use your resources normally without
|
|
considering whether they are created as committed resources or placed resources in one large heap.
|
|
|
|
Example for buffer created and filled in `UPLOAD` heap type:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
const UINT64 bufSize = 65536;
|
|
const float* bufData = (...);
|
|
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resourceDesc = {};
|
|
resourceDesc.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_BUFFER;
|
|
resourceDesc.Alignment = 0;
|
|
resourceDesc.Width = bufSize;
|
|
resourceDesc.Height = 1;
|
|
resourceDesc.DepthOrArraySize = 1;
|
|
resourceDesc.MipLevels = 1;
|
|
resourceDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_UNKNOWN;
|
|
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
|
|
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
|
|
resourceDesc.Layout = D3D12_TEXTURE_LAYOUT_ROW_MAJOR;
|
|
resourceDesc.Flags = D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_NONE;
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC allocationDesc = {};
|
|
allocationDesc.HeapType = D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_UPLOAD;
|
|
|
|
D3D12Resource* resource;
|
|
D3D12MA::Allocation* allocation;
|
|
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreateResource(
|
|
&allocationDesc,
|
|
&resourceDesc,
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ,
|
|
NULL,
|
|
&allocation,
|
|
IID_PPV_ARGS(&resource));
|
|
|
|
void* mappedPtr;
|
|
hr = resource->Map(0, NULL, &mappedPtr);
|
|
|
|
memcpy(mappedPtr, bufData, bufSize);
|
|
|
|
resource->Unmap(0, NULL);
|
|
\endcode
|
|

\page custom_pools Custom memory pools
|
|
|
|
A "pool" is a collection of memory blocks that share certain properties.
|
|
Allocator creates 3 default pools: for `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT`, `UPLOAD`, `READBACK`.
|
|
A default pool automatically grows in size. Size of allocated blocks is also variable and managed automatically.
|
|
Typical allocations are created in these pools. You can also create custom pools.
|
|
|
|
\section custom_pools_usage Usage
|
|
|
|
To create a custom pool, fill in structure D3D12MA::POOL_DESC and call function D3D12MA::Allocator::CreatePool
|
|
to obtain object D3D12MA::Pool. Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
POOL_DESC poolDesc = {};
|
|
poolDesc.HeapProperties.Type = D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT;
|
|
|
|
Pool* pool;
|
|
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreatePool(&poolDesc, &pool);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
To allocate resources out of a custom pool, only set member D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::CustomPool.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
|
|
allocDesc.CustomPool = pool;
|
|
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc = ...
|
|
Allocation* alloc;
|
|
hr = allocator->CreateResource(&allocDesc, &resDesc,
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ, NULL, &alloc, IID_NULL, NULL);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
All allocations must be released before releasing the pool.
|
|
The pool must be released before relasing the allocator.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
alloc->Release();
|
|
pool->Release();
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section custom_pools_features_and_benefits Features and benefits
|
|
|
|
While it is recommended to use default pools whenever possible for simplicity and to give the allocator
|
|
more opportunities for internal optimizations, custom pools may be useful in following cases:
|
|
|
|
- To keep some resources separate from others in memory.
|
|
- To keep track of memory usage of just a specific group of resources. %Statistics can be queried using
|
|
D3D12MA::Pool::CalculateStatistics.
|
|
- To use specific size of a memory block (`ID3D12Heap`). To set it, use member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::BlockSize.
|
|
When set to 0, the library uses automatically determined, variable block sizes.
|
|
- To reserve some minimum amount of memory allocated. To use it, set member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MinBlockCount.
|
|
- To limit maximum amount of memory allocated. To use it, set member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount.
|
|
- To use extended parameters of the D3D12 memory allocation. While resources created from default pools
|
|
can only specify `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT`, `UPLOAD`, `READBACK`, a custom pool may use non-standard
|
|
`D3D12_HEAP_PROPERTIES` (member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::HeapProperties) and `D3D12_HEAP_FLAGS`
|
|
(D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::HeapFlags), which is useful e.g. for cross-adapter sharing or UMA
|
|
(see also D3D12MA::Allocator::IsUMA).
|
|
|
|
New versions of this library support creating **committed allocations in custom pools**.
|
|
It is supported only when D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::BlockSize = 0.
|
|
To use this feature, set D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::CustomPool to the pointer to your custom pool and
|
|
D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::Flags to D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED. Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
|
|
allocDesc.CustomPool = pool;
|
|
allocDesc.Flags = ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED;
|
|
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc = ...
|
|
Allocation* alloc;
|
|
ID3D12Resource* res;
|
|
hr = allocator->CreateResource(&allocDesc, &resDesc,
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ, NULL, &alloc, IID_PPV_ARGS(&res));
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
This feature may seem unnecessary, but creating committed allocations from custom pools may be useful
|
|
in some cases, e.g. to have separate memory usage statistics for some group of resources or to use
|
|
extended allocation parameters, like custom `D3D12_HEAP_PROPERTIES`, which are available only in custom pools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\page defragmentation Defragmentation
|
|
|
|
Interleaved allocations and deallocations of many objects of varying size can
|
|
cause fragmentation over time, which can lead to a situation where the library is unable
|
|
to find a continuous range of free memory for a new allocation despite there is
|
|
enough free space, just scattered across many small free ranges between existing
|
|
allocations.
|
|
|
|
To mitigate this problem, you can use defragmentation feature.
|
|
It doesn't happen automatically though and needs your cooperation,
|
|
because %D3D12MA is a low level library that only allocates memory.
|
|
It cannot recreate buffers and textures in a new place as it doesn't remember the contents of `D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC` structure.
|
|
It cannot copy their contents as it doesn't record any commands to a command list.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_DESC defragDesc = {};
|
|
defragDesc.Flags = D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_FLAG_ALGORITHM_FAST;
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext* defragCtx;
|
|
allocator->BeginDefragmentation(&defragDesc, &defragCtx);
|
|
|
|
for(;;)
|
|
{
|
|
D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_PASS_MOVE_INFO pass;
|
|
HRESULT hr = defragCtx->BeginPass(&pass);
|
|
if(hr == S_OK)
|
|
break;
|
|
else if(hr != S_FALSE)
|
|
// Handle error...
|
|
|
|
for(UINT i = 0; i < pass.MoveCount; ++i)
|
|
{
|
|
// Inspect pass.pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation, identify what buffer/texture it represents.
|
|
MyEngineResourceData* resData = (MyEngineResourceData*)pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation->GetPrivateData();
|
|
|
|
// Recreate this buffer/texture as placed at pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation.
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc = ...
|
|
ID3D12Resource* newRes;
|
|
hr = device->CreatePlacedResource(
|
|
pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->GetHeap(),
|
|
pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->GetOffset(), &resDesc,
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COPY_DEST, NULL, IID_PPV_ARGS(&newRes));
|
|
// Check hr...
|
|
|
|
// Store new resource in the pDstTmpAllocation.
|
|
pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->SetResource(newRes);
|
|
|
|
// Copy its content to the new place.
|
|
cmdList->CopyResource(
|
|
pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->GetResource(),
|
|
pass.pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation->GetResource());
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Make sure the copy commands finished executing.
|
|
cmdQueue->ExecuteCommandLists(...);
|
|
// ...
|
|
WaitForSingleObject(fenceEvent, INFINITE);
|
|
|
|
// Update appropriate descriptors to point to the new places...
|
|
|
|
hr = defragCtx->EndPass(&pass);
|
|
if(hr == S_OK)
|
|
break;
|
|
else if(hr != S_FALSE)
|
|
// Handle error...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
defragCtx->Release();
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Although functions like D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateResource()
|
|
create an allocation and a buffer/texture at once, these are just a shortcut for
|
|
allocating memory and creating a placed resource.
|
|
Defragmentation works on memory allocations only. You must handle the rest manually.
|
|
Defragmentation is an iterative process that should repreat "passes" as long as related functions
|
|
return `S_FALSE` not `S_OK`.
|
|
In each pass:
|
|
|
|
1. D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::BeginPass() function call:
|
|
- Calculates and returns the list of allocations to be moved in this pass.
|
|
Note this can be a time-consuming process.
|
|
- Reserves destination memory for them by creating temporary destination allocations
|
|
that you can query for their `ID3D12Heap` + offset using methods like D3D12MA::Allocation::GetHeap().
|
|
2. Inside the pass, **you should**:
|
|
- Inspect the returned list of allocations to be moved.
|
|
- Create new buffers/textures as placed at the returned destination temporary allocations.
|
|
- Copy data from source to destination resources if necessary.
|
|
- Store the pointer to the new resource in the temporary destination allocation.
|
|
3. D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass() function call:
|
|
- Frees the source memory reserved for the allocations that are moved.
|
|
- Modifies source D3D12MA::Allocation objects that are moved to point to the destination reserved memory
|
|
and destination resource, while source resource is released.
|
|
- Frees `ID3D12Heap` blocks that became empty.
|
|
|
|
Defragmentation algorithm tries to move all suitable allocations.
|
|
You can, however, refuse to move some of them inside a defragmentation pass, by setting
|
|
`pass.pMoves[i].Operation` to D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_IGNORE.
|
|
This is not recommended and may result in suboptimal packing of the allocations after defragmentation.
|
|
If you cannot ensure any allocation can be moved, it is better to keep movable allocations separate in a custom pool.
|
|
|
|
Inside a pass, for each allocation that should be moved:
|
|
|
|
- You should copy its data from the source to the destination place by calling e.g. `CopyResource()`.
|
|
- You need to make sure these commands finished executing before the source buffers/textures are released by D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass().
|
|
- If a resource doesn't contain any meaningful data, e.g. it is a transient render-target texture to be cleared,
|
|
filled, and used temporarily in each rendering frame, you can just recreate this texture
|
|
without copying its data.
|
|
- If the resource is in `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_READBACK` memory, you can copy its data on the CPU
|
|
using `memcpy()`.
|
|
- If you cannot move the allocation, you can set `pass.pMoves[i].Operation` to D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_IGNORE.
|
|
This will cancel the move.
|
|
- D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass() will then free the destination memory
|
|
not the source memory of the allocation, leaving it unchanged.
|
|
- If you decide the allocation is unimportant and can be destroyed instead of moved (e.g. it wasn't used for long time),
|
|
you can set `pass.pMoves[i].Operation` to D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_DESTROY.
|
|
- D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass() will then free both source and destination memory, and will destroy the source D3D12MA::Allocation object.
|
|
|
|
You can defragment a specific custom pool by calling D3D12MA::Pool::BeginDefragmentation
|
|
or all the default pools by calling D3D12MA::Allocator::BeginDefragmentation (like in the example above).
|
|
|
|
Defragmentation is always performed in each pool separately.
|
|
Allocations are never moved between different heap types.
|
|
The size of the destination memory reserved for a moved allocation is the same as the original one.
|
|
Alignment of an allocation as it was determined using `GetResourceAllocationInfo()` is also respected after defragmentation.
|
|
Buffers/textures should be recreated with the same `D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC` parameters as the original ones.
|
|
|
|
You can perform the defragmentation incrementally to limit the number of allocations and bytes to be moved
|
|
in each pass, e.g. to call it in sync with render frames and not to experience too big hitches.
|
|
See members: D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_DESC::MaxBytesPerPass, D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_DESC::MaxAllocationsPerPass.
|
|
|
|
<b>Thread safety:</b>
|
|
It is safe to perform the defragmentation asynchronously to render frames and other Direct3D 12 and %D3D12MA
|
|
usage, possibly from multiple threads, with the exception that allocations
|
|
returned in D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_PASS_MOVE_INFO::pMoves shouldn't be released until the defragmentation pass is ended.
|
|
During the call to D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::BeginPass(), any operations on the memory pool
|
|
affected by the defragmentation are blocked by a mutex.
|
|
|
|
What it means in practice is that you shouldn't free any allocations from the defragmented pool
|
|
since the moment a call to `BeginPass` begins. Otherwise, a thread performing the `allocation->Release()`
|
|
would block for the time `BeginPass` executes and then free the allocation when it finishes, while the allocation
|
|
could have ended up on the list of allocations to move.
|
|
A solution to freeing allocations during defragmentation is to find such allocation on the list
|
|
`pass.pMoves[i]` and set its operation to D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_DESTROY instead of
|
|
calling `allocation->Release()`, or simply deferring the release to the time after defragmentation finished.
|
|
|
|
<b>Mapping</b> is out of scope of this library and so it is not preserved after an allocation is moved during defragmentation.
|
|
You need to map the new resource yourself if needed.
|
|
|
|
\note Defragmentation is not supported in custom pools created with D3D12MA::POOL_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\page statistics Statistics
|
|
|
|
This library contains several functions that return information about its internal state,
|
|
especially the amount of memory allocated from D3D12.
|
|
|
|
\section statistics_numeric_statistics Numeric statistics
|
|
|
|
If you need to obtain basic statistics about memory usage per memory segment group, together with current budget,
|
|
you can call function D3D12MA::Allocator::GetBudget() and inspect structure D3D12MA::Budget.
|
|
This is useful to keep track of memory usage and stay withing budget.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12MA::Budget localBudget;
|
|
allocator->GetBudget(&localBudget, NULL);
|
|
|
|
printf("My GPU memory currently has %u allocations taking %llu B,\n",
|
|
localBudget.Statistics.AllocationCount,
|
|
localBudget.Statistics.AllocationBytes);
|
|
printf("allocated out of %u D3D12 memory heaps taking %llu B,\n",
|
|
localBudget.Statistics.BlockCount,
|
|
localBudget.Statistics.BlockBytes);
|
|
printf("D3D12 reports total usage %llu B with budget %llu B.\n",
|
|
localBudget.UsageBytes,
|
|
localBudget.BudgetBytes);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
You can query for more detailed statistics per heap type, memory segment group, and totals,
|
|
including minimum and maximum allocation size and unused range size,
|
|
by calling function D3D12MA::Allocator::CalculateStatistics() and inspecting structure D3D12MA::TotalStatistics.
|
|
This function is slower though, as it has to traverse all the internal data structures,
|
|
so it should be used only for debugging purposes.
|
|
|
|
You can query for statistics of a custom pool using function D3D12MA::Pool::GetStatistics()
|
|
or D3D12MA::Pool::CalculateStatistics().
|
|
|
|
You can query for information about a specific allocation using functions of the D3D12MA::Allocation class,
|
|
e.g. `GetSize()`, `GetOffset()`, `GetHeap()`.
|
|
|
|
\section statistics_json_dump JSON dump
|
|
|
|
You can dump internal state of the allocator to a string in JSON format using function D3D12MA::Allocator::BuildStatsString().
|
|
The result is guaranteed to be correct JSON.
|
|
It uses Windows Unicode (UTF-16) encoding.
|
|
Any strings provided by user (see D3D12MA::Allocation::SetName())
|
|
are copied as-is and properly escaped for JSON.
|
|
It must be freed using function D3D12MA::Allocator::FreeStatsString().
|
|
|
|
The format of this JSON string is not part of official documentation of the library,
|
|
but it will not change in backward-incompatible way without increasing library major version number
|
|
and appropriate mention in changelog.
|
|
|
|
The JSON string contains all the data that can be obtained using D3D12MA::Allocator::CalculateStatistics().
|
|
It can also contain detailed map of allocated memory blocks and their regions -
|
|
free and occupied by allocations.
|
|
This allows e.g. to visualize the memory or assess fragmentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\page resource_aliasing Resource aliasing (overlap)
|
|
|
|
New explicit graphics APIs (Vulkan and Direct3D 12), thanks to manual memory
|
|
management, give an opportunity to alias (overlap) multiple resources in the
|
|
same region of memory - a feature not available in the old APIs (Direct3D 11, OpenGL).
|
|
It can be useful to save video memory, but it must be used with caution.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you know the flow of your whole render frame in advance, you
|
|
are going to use some intermediate textures or buffers only during a small range of render passes,
|
|
and you know these ranges don't overlap in time, you can create these resources in
|
|
the same place in memory, even if they have completely different parameters (width, height, format etc.).
|
|
|
|
![Resource aliasing (overlap)](../gfx/Aliasing.png)
|
|
|
|
Such scenario is possible using D3D12MA, but you need to create your resources
|
|
using special function D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateAliasingResource.
|
|
Before that, you need to allocate memory with parameters calculated using formula:
|
|
|
|
- allocation size = max(size of each resource)
|
|
- allocation alignment = max(alignment of each resource)
|
|
|
|
Following example shows two different textures created in the same place in memory,
|
|
allocated to fit largest of them.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc1 = {};

resDesc1.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;

|
0, // AllocationLocalOffset

&resDesc1,

|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COMMON,

|

0, // AllocationLocalOffset

|
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COMMON,
|
|
NULL, // pOptimizedClearValue
|
|

|
|
|
|
// You can use res1 and res2, but not at the same time!
|
|
|
|
res2->Release();
|
|
res1->Release();
|
|
alloc->Release();
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Remember that using resouces that alias in memory requires proper synchronization.
|
|
You need to issue a special barrier of type `D3D12_RESOURCE_BARRIER_TYPE_ALIASING`.
|
|
You also need to treat a resource after aliasing as uninitialized - containing garbage data.
|
|
For example, if you use `res1` and then want to use `res2`, you need to first initialize `res2`
|
|
using either Clear, Discard, or Copy to the entire resource.
|
|
|
|
Additional considerations:
|
|
|
|
- D3D12 also allows to interpret contents of memory between aliasing resources consistently in some cases,
|
|
which is called "data inheritance". For details, see
|
|
Microsoft documentation chapter "Memory Aliasing and Data Inheritance".
|
|
- You can create more complex layout where different textures and buffers are bound
|
|
at different offsets inside one large allocation. For example, one can imagine
|
|
a big texture used in some render passes, aliasing with a set of many small buffers
|
|
used in some further passes. To bind a resource at non-zero offset of an allocation,
|
|
call D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateAliasingResource with appropriate value of `AllocationLocalOffset` parameter.
|
|
- Resources of the three categories: buffers, textures with `RENDER_TARGET` or `DEPTH_STENCIL` flags, and all other textures,
|
|
can be placed in the same memory only when `allocator->GetD3D12Options().ResourceHeapTier >= D3D12_RESOURCE_HEAP_TIER_2`.
|
|
Otherwise they must be placed in different memory heap types, and thus aliasing them is not possible.
|
|

\page linear_algorithm Linear allocation algorithm
|
|
|
|
Each D3D12 memory block managed by this library has accompanying metadata that
|
|
keeps track of used and unused regions. By default, the metadata structure and
|
|
algorithm tries to find best place for new allocations among free regions to
|
|
optimize memory usage. This way you can allocate and free objects in any order.
|
|
|
|
![Default allocation algorithm](../gfx/Linear_allocator_1_algo_default.png)
|
|
|
|
Sometimes there is a need to use simpler, linear allocation algorithm. You can
|
|
create custom pool that uses such algorithm by adding flag
|
|
D3D12MA::POOL_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR to D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::Flags while creating
|
|
D3D12MA::Pool object. Then an alternative metadata management is used. It always
|
|
creates new allocations after last one and doesn't reuse free regions after
|
|
allocations freed in the middle. It results in better allocation performance and
|
|
less memory consumed by metadata.
|
|
|
|
![Linear allocation algorithm](../gfx/Linear_allocator_2_algo_linear.png)
|
|
|
|
With this one flag, you can create a custom pool that can be used in many ways:
|
|
free-at-once, stack, double stack, and ring buffer. See below for details.
|
|
You don't need to specify explicitly which of these options you are going to use - it is detected automatically.
|
|
|
|
\section linear_algorithm_free_at_once Free-at-once
|
|
|
|
In a pool that uses linear algorithm, you still need to free all the allocations
|
|
individually by calling `allocation->Release()`. You can free
|
|
them in any order. New allocations are always made after last one - free space
|
|
in the middle is not reused. However, when you release all the allocation and
|
|
the pool becomes empty, allocation starts from the beginning again. This way you
|
|
can use linear algorithm to speed up creation of allocations that you are going
|
|
to release all at once.
|
|
|
|
![Free-at-once](../gfx/Linear_allocator_3_free_at_once.png)
|
|
|
|
This mode is also available for pools created with D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount
|
|
value that allows multiple memory blocks.
|
|
|
|
\section linear_algorithm_stack Stack
|
|
|
|
When you free an allocation that was created last, its space can be reused.
|
|
Thanks to this, if you always release allocations in the order opposite to their
|
|
creation (LIFO - Last In First Out), you can achieve behavior of a stack.
|
|
|
|
![Stack](../gfx/Linear_allocator_4_stack.png)
|
|
|
|
This mode is also available for pools created with D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount
|
|
value that allows multiple memory blocks.
|
|
|
|
\section linear_algorithm_double_stack Double stack
|
|
|
|
The space reserved by a custom pool with linear algorithm may be used by two
|
|
stacks:
|
|
|
|
- First, default one, growing up from offset 0.
|
|
- Second, "upper" one, growing down from the end towards lower offsets.
|
|
|
|
To make allocation from the upper stack, add flag D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_UPPER_ADDRESS
|
|
to D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::Flags.
|
|
|
|
![Double stack](../gfx/Linear_allocator_7_double_stack.png)
|
|
|
|
Double stack is available only in pools with one memory block -
|
|
D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount must be 1. Otherwise behavior is undefined.
|
|
|
|
When the two stacks' ends meet so there is not enough space between them for a
|
|
new allocation, such allocation fails with usual `E_OUTOFMEMORY` error.
|
|
|
|
\section linear_algorithm_ring_buffer Ring buffer
|
|
|
|
When you free some allocations from the beginning and there is not enough free space
|
|
for a new one at the end of a pool, allocator's "cursor" wraps around to the
|
|
beginning and starts allocation there. Thanks to this, if you always release
|
|
allocations in the same order as you created them (FIFO - First In First Out),
|
|
you can achieve behavior of a ring buffer / queue.
|
|
|
|
![Ring buffer](../gfx/Linear_allocator_5_ring_buffer.png)
|
|
|
|
Ring buffer is available only in pools with one memory block -
|
|
D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount must be 1. Otherwise behavior is undefined.
|
|
|
|
\section linear_algorithm_additional_considerations Additional considerations
|
|
|
|
Linear algorithm can also be used with \ref virtual_allocator.
|
|
See flag D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\page virtual_allocator Virtual allocator
|
|
|
|
As an extra feature, the core allocation algorithm of the library is exposed through a simple and convenient API of "virtual allocator".
|
|
It doesn't allocate any real GPU memory. It just keeps track of used and free regions of a "virtual block".
|
|
You can use it to allocate your own memory or other objects, even completely unrelated to D3D12.
|
|
A common use case is sub-allocation of pieces of one large GPU buffer.
|
|
|
|
\section virtual_allocator_creating_virtual_block Creating virtual block
|
|
|
|
To use this functionality, there is no main "allocator" object.
|
|
You don't need to have D3D12MA::Allocator object created.
|
|
All you need to do is to create a separate D3D12MA::VirtualBlock object for each block of memory you want to be managed by the allocator:
|
|
|
|
-# Fill in D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC structure.
|
|
-# Call D3D12MA::CreateVirtualBlock. Get new D3D12MA::VirtualBlock object.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_DESC blockDesc = {};
|
|
blockDesc.Size = 1048576; // 1 MB
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::VirtualBlock *block;
|
|
HRESULT hr = CreateVirtualBlock(&blockDesc, &block);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section virtual_allocator_making_virtual_allocations Making virtual allocations
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::VirtualBlock object contains internal data structure that keeps track of free and occupied regions
|
|
using the same code as the main D3D12 memory allocator.
|
|
A single allocation is identified by a lightweight structure D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation.
|
|
You will also likely want to know the offset at which the allocation was made in the block.
|
|
|
|
In order to make an allocation:
|
|
|
|
-# Fill in D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC structure.
|
|
-# Call D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::Allocate. Get new D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation value that identifies the allocation.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
|
|
allocDesc.Size = 4096; // 4 KB
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation alloc;
|
|
UINT64 allocOffset;
|
|
hr = block->Allocate(&allocDesc, &alloc, &allocOffset);
|
|
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
|
|
{
|
|
// Use the 4 KB of your memory starting at allocOffset.
|
|
}
|
|
else
|
|
{
|
|
// Allocation failed - no space for it could be found. Handle this error!
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section virtual_allocator_deallocation Deallocation
|
|
|
|
When no longer needed, an allocation can be freed by calling D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::FreeAllocation.
|
|
|
|
When whole block is no longer needed, the block object can be released by calling `block->Release()`.
|
|
All allocations must be freed before the block is destroyed, which is checked internally by an assert.
|
|
However, if you don't want to call `block->FreeAllocation` for each allocation, you can use D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::Clear to free them all at once -
|
|
a feature not available in normal D3D12 memory allocator.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
block->FreeAllocation(alloc);
|
|
block->Release();
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section virtual_allocator_allocation_parameters Allocation parameters
|
|
|
|
You can attach a custom pointer to each allocation by using D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::SetAllocationPrivateData.
|
|
Its default value is `NULL`.
|
|
It can be used to store any data that needs to be associated with that allocation - e.g. an index, a handle, or a pointer to some
|
|
larger data structure containing more information. Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
struct CustomAllocData
|
|
{
|
|
std::string m_AllocName;
|
|
};
|
|
CustomAllocData* allocData = new CustomAllocData();
|
|
allocData->m_AllocName = "My allocation 1";
|
|
block->SetAllocationPrivateData(alloc, allocData);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The pointer can later be fetched, along with allocation offset and size, by passing the allocation handle to function
|
|
D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::GetAllocationInfo and inspecting returned structure D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_INFO.
|
|
If you allocated a new object to be used as the custom pointer, don't forget to delete that object before freeing the allocation!
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_INFO allocInfo;
|
|
block->GetAllocationInfo(alloc, &allocInfo);
|
|
delete (CustomAllocData*)allocInfo.pPrivateData;
|
|
|
|
block->FreeAllocation(alloc);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section virtual_allocator_alignment_and_units Alignment and units
|
|
|
|
It feels natural to express sizes and offsets in bytes.
|
|
If an offset of an allocation needs to be aligned to a multiply of some number (e.g. 4 bytes), you can fill optional member
|
|
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC::Alignment to request it. Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
|
|
allocDesc.Size = 4096; // 4 KB
|
|
allocDesc.Alignment = 4; // Returned offset must be a multiply of 4 B
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation alloc;
|
|
UINT64 allocOffset;
|
|
hr = block->Allocate(&allocDesc, &alloc, &allocOffset);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Alignments of different allocations made from one block may vary.
|
|
However, if all alignments and sizes are always multiply of some size e.g. 4 B or `sizeof(MyDataStruct)`,
|
|
you can express all sizes, alignments, and offsets in multiples of that size instead of individual bytes.
|
|
It might be more convenient, but you need to make sure to use this new unit consistently in all the places:
|
|
|
|
- D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_DESC::Size
|
|
- D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC::Size and D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC::Alignment
|
|
- Using offset returned by D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::Allocate and D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_INFO::Offset
|
|
|
|
\section virtual_allocator_statistics Statistics
|
|
|
|
You can obtain brief statistics of a virtual block using D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::GetStatistics().
|
|
The function fills structure D3D12MA::Statistics - same as used by the normal D3D12 memory allocator.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
D3D12MA::Statistics stats;
|
|
block->GetStatistics(&stats);
|
|
printf("My virtual block has %llu bytes used by %u virtual allocations\n",
|
|
stats.AllocationBytes, stats.AllocationCount);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
More detailed statistics can be obtained using function D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::CalculateStatistics(),
|
|
but they are slower to calculate.
|
|
|
|
You can also request a full list of allocations and free regions as a string in JSON format by calling
|
|
D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::BuildStatsString.
|
|
Returned string must be later freed using D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::FreeStatsString.
|
|
The format of this string may differ from the one returned by the main D3D12 allocator, but it is similar.
|
|
|
|
\section virtual_allocator_additional_considerations Additional considerations
|
|
|
|
Alternative, linear algorithm can be used with virtual allocator - see flag
|
|
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR and documentation: \ref linear_algorithm.
|
|
|
|
Note that the "virtual allocator" functionality is implemented on a level of individual memory blocks.
|
|
Keeping track of a whole collection of blocks, allocating new ones when out of free space,
|
|
deleting empty ones, and deciding which one to try first for a new allocation must be implemented by the user.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\page configuration Configuration
|
|
|
|
Please check file `D3D12MemAlloc.cpp` lines between "Configuration Begin" and
|
|
"Configuration End" to find macros that you can define to change the behavior of
|
|
the library, primarily for debugging purposes.
|
|
|
|
\section custom_memory_allocator Custom CPU memory allocator
|
|
|
|
If you use custom allocator for CPU memory rather than default C++ operator `new`
|
|
and `delete` or `malloc` and `free` functions, you can make this library using
|
|
your allocator as well by filling structure D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_CALLBACKS and
|
|
passing it as optional member D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC::pAllocationCallbacks.
|
|
Functions pointed there will be used by the library to make any CPU-side
|
|
allocations. Example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
#include <malloc.h>
|
|
|
|
void* CustomAllocate(size_t Size, size_t Alignment, void* pPrivateData)
|
|
{
|
|
void* memory = _aligned_malloc(Size, Alignment);
|
|
// Your extra bookkeeping here...
|
|
return memory;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
void CustomFree(void* pMemory, void* pPrivateData)
|
|
{
|
|
// Your extra bookkeeping here...
|
|
_aligned_free(pMemory);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
(...)
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_CALLBACKS allocationCallbacks = {};
|
|
allocationCallbacks.pAllocate = &CustomAllocate;
|
|
allocationCallbacks.pFree = &CustomFree;
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC allocatorDesc = {};
|
|
allocatorDesc.pDevice = device;
|
|
allocatorDesc.pAdapter = adapter;
|
|
allocatorDesc.pAllocationCallbacks = &allocationCallbacks;
|
|
|
|
D3D12MA::Allocator* allocator;
|
|
HRESULT hr = D3D12MA::CreateAllocator(&allocatorDesc, &allocator);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section debug_margins Debug margins
|
|
|
|
By default, allocations are laid out in memory blocks next to each other if possible
|
|
(considering required alignment returned by `ID3D12Device::GetResourceAllocationInfo`).
|
|
|
|
![Allocations without margin](../gfx/Margins_1.png)
|
|
|
|
Define macro `D3D12MA_DEBUG_MARGIN` to some non-zero value (e.g. 16) inside "D3D12MemAlloc.cpp"
|
|
to enforce specified number of bytes as a margin after every allocation.
|
|
|
|
![Allocations with margin](../gfx/Margins_2.png)
|
|
|
|
If your bug goes away after enabling margins, it means it may be caused by memory
|
|
being overwritten outside of allocation boundaries. It is not 100% certain though.
|
|
Change in application behavior may also be caused by different order and distribution
|
|
of allocations across memory blocks after margins are applied.
|
|
|
|
Margins work with all memory heap types.
|
|
|
|
Margin is applied only to placed allocations made out of memory heaps and not to committed
|
|
allocations, which have their own, implicit memory heap of specific size.
|
|
It is thus not applied to allocations made using D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED flag
|
|
or those automatically decided to put into committed allocations, e.g. due to its large size.
|
|
|
|
Margins appear in [JSON dump](@ref statistics_json_dump) as part of free space.
|
|
|
|
Note that enabling margins increases memory usage and fragmentation.
|
|
|
|
Margins do not apply to \ref virtual_allocator.

\page general_considerations General considerations
|
|
|
|
\section general_considerations_thread_safety Thread safety
|
|
|
|
- The library has no global state, so separate D3D12MA::Allocator objects can be used independently.
|
|
In typical applications there should be no need to create multiple such objects though - one per `ID3D12Device` is enough.
|
|
- All calls to methods of D3D12MA::Allocator class are safe to be made from multiple
|
|
threads simultaneously because they are synchronized internally when needed.
|
|
- When the allocator is created with D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_FLAG_SINGLETHREADED,
|
|
calls to methods of D3D12MA::Allocator class must be made from a single thread or synchronized by the user.
|
|
Using this flag may improve performance.
|
|
- D3D12MA::VirtualBlock is not safe to be used from multiple threads simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
\section general_considerations_versioning_and_compatibility Versioning and compatibility
|
|
|
|
The library uses [**Semantic Versioning**](https://semver.org/),
|
|
which means version numbers follow convention: Major.Minor.Patch (e.g. 2.3.0), where:
|
|
|
|
- Incremented Patch version means a release is backward- and forward-compatible,
|
|
introducing only some internal improvements, bug fixes, optimizations etc.
|
|
or changes that are out of scope of the official API described in this documentation.
|
|
- Incremented Minor version means a release is backward-compatible,
|
|
so existing code that uses the library should continue to work, while some new
|
|
symbols could have been added: new structures, functions, new values in existing
|
|
enums and bit flags, new structure members, but not new function parameters.
|
|
- Incrementing Major version means a release could break some backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
All changes between official releases are documented in file "CHANGELOG.md".
|
|
|
|
\warning Backward compatiblity is considered on the level of C++ source code, not binary linkage.
|
|
Adding new members to existing structures is treated as backward compatible if initializing
|
|
the new members to binary zero results in the old behavior.
|
|
You should always fully initialize all library structures to zeros and not rely on their
|
|
exact binary size.
|
|
|
|
\section general_considerations_features_not_supported Features not supported
|
|
|
|
Features deliberately excluded from the scope of this library:
|
|
|
|
- **Descriptor allocation.** Although also called "heaps", objects that represent
|
|
descriptors are separate part of the D3D12 API from buffers and textures.
|
|
You can still use \ref virtual_allocator to manage descriptors and their ranges inside a descriptor heap.
|
|
- **Support for reserved (tiled) resources.** We don't recommend using them.
|
|
- Support for `ID3D12Device::Evict` and `MakeResident`. We don't recommend using them.
|
|
You can call them on the D3D12 objects manually.
|
|
Plese keep in mind, however, that eviction happens on the level of entire `ID3D12Heap` memory blocks
|
|
and not individual buffers or textures which may be placed inside them.
|
|
- **Handling CPU memory allocation failures.** When dynamically creating small C++
|
|
objects in CPU memory (not the GPU memory), allocation failures are not
|
|
handled gracefully, because that would complicate code significantly and
|
|
is usually not needed in desktop PC applications anyway.
|
|
Success of an allocation is just checked with an assert.
|
|
- **Code free of any compiler warnings.**
|
|
There are many preprocessor macros that make some variables unused, function parameters unreferenced,
|
|
or conditional expressions constant in some configurations.
|
|
The code of this library should not be bigger or more complicated just to silence these warnings.
|
|
It is recommended to disable such warnings instead.
|
|
- This is a C++ library. **Bindings or ports to any other programming languages** are welcome as external projects but
|
|
are not going to be included into this repository.
