=== Description

This extension adds support for using cooperative matrix types in SPIR-V.
Cooperative matrix types are medium-sized matrices that are primarily
supported in compute shaders, where the storage for the matrix is spread
across all invocations in some scope (usually a subgroup) and those
invocations cooperate to efficiently perform matrix multiplies.

Cooperative matrix types are defined by the
{spirv}/KHR/SPV_KHR_cooperative_matrix.html[`SPV_KHR_cooperative_matrix`]
SPIR-V extension and can be used with the
{GLSLregistry}/khr/GLSL_KHR_cooperative_matrix.txt[`GLSL_KHR_cooperative_matrix`]
GLSL extension.

This extension includes support for enumerating the matrix types and
dimensions that are supported by the implementation.
