## Description

This extension adds support for the integer dot product SPIR-V instructions defined in SPV_KHR_integer_dot_product. These instructions are particularly useful for neural network inference and training but find uses in other general-purpose compute applications as well.

## New Structures

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, VkDeviceCreateInfo:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceShaderIntegerDotProductFeaturesKHR

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceShaderIntegerDotProductPropertiesKHR

## New Enum Constants

- `VK_KHR_SHADER_INTEGER_DOT_PRODUCT_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_KHR_SHADER_INTEGER_DOT_PRODUCT_SPEC_VERSION`

- Extending VkStructureType:

  - VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_INTEGER_DOT_PRODUCT_FEATURES_KHR

  - VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_INTEGER_DOT_PRODUCT_PROPERTIES_KHR

## Promotion to Vulkan 1.3

Vulkan APIs in this extension are included in core Vulkan 1.3, with the KHR suffix omitted. External interactions defined by this extension, such as SPIR-V token names, retain their original names. The original Vulkan API names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

## New SPIR-V Capabilities

- `DotProductInputAllKHR`

- `DotProductInput4x8BitKHR`

- `DotProductInput4x8BitPackedKHR`

- `DotProductKHR`

## Version History

- Revision 1, 2021-06-16 (Kévin Petit)
