During December 2025, Patrick Boyle developed VK_QCOM_tile_memory_heap support for buffers and images in the KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers repository. He implemented validation logic for buffer creation, memory binding, image usage, and tile memory heap requirements, ensuring compliance with Vulkan specifications. Using C++ and the Vulkan API, Patrick expanded the test suite to cover vkCmdBindTileMemoryQCOM and related validation flows, addressing unit tests for tile memory usage and memory type indexing. By incorporating feedback and refining output messages, he improved the reliability and developer experience of the validation layers, resulting in broader validation coverage and enhanced readiness for deployment on compatible hardware.
