# VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL - Structure specifying parameters to create a pool of performance queries

## C Specification

The `VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_INTEL_performance_query
    typedef struct VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL {
        VkStructureType                 sType;
        const void*                     pNext;
        VkQueryPoolSamplingModeINTEL    performanceCountersSampling;
    } VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL;

    // Provided by VK_INTEL_performance_query
    // Equivalent to VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL
    typedef VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL VkQueryPoolCreateInfoINTEL;

## Members

To create a pool for Intel performance queries, set VkQueryPoolCreateInfo::`queryType` to VK_QUERY_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_INTEL and add a `VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL` structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkQueryPoolCreateInfo structure.

## Description

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `performanceCountersSampling` describe how performance queries should be captured.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_QUERY_POOL_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_CREATE_INFO_INTEL

- VUID-VkQueryPoolPerformanceQueryCreateInfoINTEL-performanceCountersSampling-parameter
  `performanceCountersSampling` must be a valid VkQueryPoolSamplingModeINTEL value

Structure Chaining

Extends the structure

  - VkQueryPoolCreateInfo
