This extension adds support for the following SPIR-V extension in Vulkan:
|
|
|
|
* +SPV_KHR_shader_ballot+
|
|
|
|
This extension provides the ability for a group of invocations, which
|
|
execute in parallel, to do limited forms of cross-invocation communication
|
|
via a group broadcast of a invocation value, or broadcast of a bitarray
|
|
representing a predicate value from each invocation in the group.
|
|
|
|
This extension provides access to a number of additional built-in shader
|
|
variables in Vulkan:
|
|
|
|
* code:SubgroupEqMaskKHR, which contains the subgroup mask of the current
|
|
subgroup invocation,
|
|
* code:SubgroupGeMaskKHR, which contains the subgroup mask of the
|
|
invocations greater than or equal to the current invocation,
|
|
* code:SubgroupGtMaskKHR, which contains the subgroup mask of the
|
|
invocations greater than the current invocation,
|
|
* code:SubgroupLeMaskKHR, which contains the subgroup mask of the
|
|
invocations less than or equal to the current invocation,
|
|
* code:SubgroupLtMaskKHR, which contains the subgroup mask of the
|
|
invocations less than the current invocation,
|
|
* code:SubgroupLocalInvocationId, which contains the index of an
|
|
invocation within a subgroup, and
|
|
* code:SubgroupSize, which contains the maximum number of invocations in a
|
|
subgroup.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, this extension provides access to the new SPIR-V instructions:
|
|
|
|
* code:OpSubgroupBallotKHR,
|
|
* code:OpSubgroupFirstInvocationKHR, and
|
|
* code:OpSubgroupReadInvocationKHR,
|
|
|
|
When using GLSL source-based shader languages, the following variables and
|
|
shader functions from GL_ARB_shader_ballot can map to these SPIR-V built-in
|
|
decorations and instructions:
|
|
|
|
* in uint64_t gl_SubGroupEqMaskARB; -> code:SubgroupEqMaskKHR,
|
|
* in uint64_t gl_SubGroupGeMaskARB; -> code:SubgroupGeMaskKHR,
|
|
* in uint64_t gl_SubGroupGtMaskARB; -> code:SubgroupGtMaskKHR,
|
|
* in uint64_t gl_SubGroupLeMaskARB; -> code:SubgroupLeMaskKHR,
|
|
* in uint64_t gl_SubGroupLtMaskARB; -> code:SubgroupLtMaskKHR,
|
|
* in uint gl_SubGroupInvocationARB; -> code:SubgroupLocalInvocationId,
|
|
* uniform uint gl_SubGroupSizeARB; -> code:SubgroupSize,
|
|
* ballotARB() -> code:OpSubgroupBallotKHR,
|
|
* readFirstInvocationARB() -> code:OpSubgroupFirstInvocationKHR, and
|
|
* readInvocationARB() -> code:OpSubgroupReadInvocationKHR.
