* Bump API patch number and header version number to 6 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Define 'invocation group' for compute and graphics shaders. Cleanup
definition and use of 'workgroup', and add glossary entries (public
issue 1).
* Various minor editorial fixes (public issue 33).
* Clarify locations for block members in the
<<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations,Location Assignment>>
section (public issue 45).
* Editorial fixes for <<commandbuffer-allocation,Command Buffer
Allocation>> section (public issues 54, 59).
* Clarify behavior of depth test in the <<fragops-depth,Depth
Test>> section (public issues 80, 81).
* Remove discussion of return codes from
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties and
flink:vkGetImageSparseMemoryRequirements, which don't return values
(public issue 82).
* Allow flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect and flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect
pname:drawCount of 0, as well as 1, when the multiDrawIndirect
feature is not supported (public issue 88).
* Remove confusing wording in the <<features-limits,Limits>>
section describing the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits
pname:minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment,
pname:minUniformBufferOffsetAlignment, and
pname:minStorageBufferOffsetAlignment members as both minimums and
maximums (public issue 91).
* Clarified that only the RGB components should be affected in places
where sRGB is referred to in the spec, such as ASTC formats. Minor
re-wording to avoid "color space" when actively incorrect, now that
we refer to the Data Format Spec which actually makes a distinction
between color space and transfer function (public issue 94).
* Treat pname:pPropertyCount == 0 consistently in
flink:vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties (public issue 99)
* Cleanup minor editorial issues in chapters 14-17 (public issue 100).
* Clarify definition of flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties
and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 101).
* Define the flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties pname:pLayerName
parameter to be a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string (public
issue 101).
* Rearrange "Missing information" references in mandatory format
tables (public issue 101).
* Clarify that the enumerated extensions returned by
flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties will only include
extensions provided by the platform or extensions implemented in
implicitly enabled layers (public issue 101).
* Miscellaneous editorial fixes. Include the Vulkan spec patch number
in the PDF title. Fix label on <<fig-non-strict-lines,Non
strict lines>> diagram. Use more easily distinguished symbols in
tables in the <<features-required-format-support,Required
Format Support>> section. Don't require FQDNs used as layer names be
encoded in lower case if not possible, in the
<<extensions-naming-conventions, Extension and Layer Naming
Conventions>> section (public issues 101, 119, 121).
Internal Issues:
* Fixed excessive spacing in tables in XHTML (internal issue 18).
* Clarify that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT
applies to secondary command buffers. Previously spec only referred
to the members of pname:pCommandBuffers being affected by this bit.
Added a separate slink:VkSubmitInfo Valid Usage restriction
specifying that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT
also applies to any secondary command buffers that are recorded into
the primary command buffers in pname:pCommandBuffers (internal issue
106).
* Clarify that slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo::pname:pEnabledFeatures can be
NULL (internal issue 117).
* Remove "the value of" where it is redundant (e.g. speaking of an API
parameter, struct member, or SPIR-V variable, but not when speaking
of color components) (internal issue 175).
* Forced patch version to always be 0 in the header. Add a
"VK_API_VERSION_<major>_<minor>" macro for people to use to do the
right thing. Add a VK_HEADER_VERSION which captures the header
release number independent of the spec patch number (internal issue
176).
* Correct description of
slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo::pname:pName to "a pointer to
a null-terminated UTF-8 string" (internal issue #197).
Other Commits:
* Updated DataFormat spec reference to the new date for revision 5 of
that spec.
* Fixed KEEP option (to retain LaTeX intermediate files) in the
Makefile to be included when edited there, as well as set on the
command line.
* Reserve and add "VK_IMG_filter_cubic" to the registry, and implement
script functionality to add and remove validity from existing
functions. Includes schema and readme changes.
* Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl so push_constants do not have descriptor
sets.

[[dispatch]]
|
|
= Dispatching Commands
|
|
|
|
_Dispatching commands_ (commands with ``Dispatch'' in the name) provoke work
|
|
in a compute pipeline. Dispatching commands are recorded into a command
|
|
buffer and when executed by a queue, will produce work which executes
|
|
according to the currently bound compute pipeline. A compute pipeline must:
|
|
be bound to a command buffer before any dispatch commands are recorded in
|
|
that command buffer.
|
|
|
|
To record a dispatch, call:
|
|
|
|
include::../protos/vkCmdDispatch.txt[]
|
|
|
|
* pname:commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be
|
|
recorded.
|
|
* pname:x is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the X dimension.
|
|
* pname:y is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the Y dimension.
|
|
* pname:z is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the Z dimension.
|
|
|
|
When the command is executed, a global workgroup consisting of
|
|
latexmath:[$x \times y \times z$] local workgroups is assembled.
|
|
|
|
include::../validity/protos/vkCmdDispatch.txt[]
|
|
|
|
An indirect dispatch is recorded by calling:
|
|
|
|
include::../protos/vkCmdDispatchIndirect.txt[]
|
|
|
|
* pname:commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be
|
|
recorded.
|
|
* pname:buffer is the buffer containing dispatch parameters.
|
|
* pname:offset is the byte offset into pname:buffer where parameters
|
|
begin.
|
|
|
|
fname:vkCmdDispatchIndirect behaves similarly to flink:vkCmdDispatch except
|
|
that the parameters are read by the device from a buffer during execution.
|
|
The parameters of the dispatch are encoded in a
|
|
slink:VkDispatchIndirectCommand structure taken from pname:buffer starting
|
|
at pname:offset.
|
|
|
|
include::../validity/protos/vkCmdDispatchIndirect.txt[]
|
|
|
|
The definition of sname:VkDispatchIndirectCommand is:
|
|
|
|
include::../structs/VkDispatchIndirectCommand.txt[]
|
|
|
|
The members of sname:VkDispatchIndirectCommand structure have the same
|
|
meaning as the similarly named parameters of flink:vkCmdDispatch.
