C Specification

Tensors are similar to images, in that they have multi-dimensional access as documented in the https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html#tensors chapter, but a tensor’s dimensions are not predefined. A tensor can have an arbitrary number of dimensions, up to maxTensorDimensionCount, with one index per dimension used to access the tensor.

Tensors can be used by binding them to pipelines via descriptor sets, or by directly specifying them as parameters to certain commands.

Tensors are represented by VkTensorARM handles:

// Provided by VK_ARM_tensors
VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkTensorARM)
