= Dispatching Commands
_Dispatching commands_ (commands with ftext: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 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::../api/protos/vkCmdDispatch.txt[]
* pname:commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be
recorded.
* pname:groupCountX is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the X
dimension.
* pname:groupCountY is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the Y
dimension.
* pname:groupCountZ is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the Z
dimension.
When the command is executed, a global workgroup consisting of
[eq]#pname:groupCountX {times} pname:groupCountY {times} pname:groupCountZ#
local workgroups is assembled.
