The following <<pipelines-block-diagram,figure>> shows a block diagram of
|
|
the Vulkan pipelines.
|
|
Some Vulkan commands specify geometric objects to be drawn or computational
|
|
work to be performed, while others specify state controlling how objects are
|
|
handled by the various pipeline stages, or control data transfer between
|
|
memory organized as images and buffers.
|
|
Commands are effectively sent through a processing pipeline, either a
|
|
_graphics pipeline_ or a _compute pipeline_.
|
|
|
|
ifdef::VK_NV_mesh_shader[]
|
|
The graphics pipeline can be operated in two modes, as either _primitive
|
|
shading_ or _mesh shading_ pipeline.
|
|
|
|
*Primitive Shading*
|
|
|
|
endif::VK_NV_mesh_shader[]
|
|
|
|
The first stage of the <<pipelines-graphics,graphics pipeline>>
|
|
(<<drawing,Input Assembler>>) assembles vertices to form geometric
|
|
primitives such as points, lines, and triangles, based on a requested
|
|
primitive topology.
|
|
In the next stage (<<shaders-vertex,Vertex Shader>>) vertices can: be
|
|
transformed, computing positions and attributes for each vertex.
|
|
If <<tessellation,tessellation>> and/or <<geometry,geometry>> shaders are
|
|
supported, they can: then generate multiple primitives from a single input
|
|
primitive, possibly changing the primitive topology or generating additional
|
|
attribute data in the process.
|
|
|
|
ifdef::VK_NV_mesh_shader[]
|
|
*Mesh Shading*
|
|
|
|
When using the <<mesh,_mesh shading_>> pipeline input primitives are not
|
|
assembled implicitly, but explictly through the (<<shaders-mesh,Mesh
|
|
Shader>>).
|
|
The work on the mesh pipeline is initiated by the application
|
|
<<drawing-mesh-shading,drawing>> a set of mesh tasks.
|
|
|
|
If an optional (<<shaders-task,Task Shader>>) is active, each task triggers
|
|
the execution of a task shader workgroup that will generate a new set of
|
|
tasks upon completion.
|
|
Each of these spawned tasks, or each of the original dispatched tasks if no
|
|
task shader is present, triggers the execution of a mesh shader workgroup
|
|
that produces an output mesh with a variable-sized number of primitives
|
|
assembled from vertices stored in the output mesh.
|
|
|
|
*Common*
|
|
endif::VK_NV_mesh_shader[]
|
|
|
|
The final resulting primitives are <<vertexpostproc-clipping,clipped>> to a
|
|
clip volume in preparation for the next stage, <<primsrast,Rasterization>>.
|
|
The rasterizer produces a series of framebuffer addresses and values using a
|
|
two-dimensional description of a point, line segment, or triangle.
|
|
Each _fragment_ so produced is fed to the next stage
|
|
(<<shaders-fragment,Fragment Shader>>) that performs operations on
|
|
individual fragments before they finally alter the framebuffer.
|
|
These operations include conditional updates into the framebuffer based on
|
|
incoming and previously stored depth values (to effect <<fragops-depth,depth
|
|
buffering>>), <<framebuffer-blending,blending>> of incoming fragment colors
|
|
with stored colors, as well as <<framebuffer-blendoperations,masking>>,
|
|
<<fragops-stencil,stenciling>>, and other <<framebuffer-logicop,logical
|
|
operations>> on fragment values.
|
|
|
|
Framebuffer operations read and write the color and depth/stencil
|
|
attachments of the framebuffer for a given subpass of a <<renderpass,render
|
|
pass instance>>.
|
|
The attachments can: be used as input attachments in the fragment shader in
|
|
a later subpass of the same render pass.
|
|
|
|
The <<pipelines-compute,compute pipeline>> is a separate pipeline from the
|
|
graphics pipeline, which operates on one-, two-, or three-dimensional
|
|
workgroups which can: read from and write to buffer and image memory.
|
|
|
|
This ordering is meant only as a tool for describing Vulkan, not as a strict
|
|
rule of how Vulkan is implemented, and we present it only as a means to
|
|
organize the various operations of the pipelines.
|
|
Actual ordering guarantees between pipeline stages are explained in detail
|
|
in the <<synchronization-pipeline-stages-order, synchronization chapter>>.

== Compute Pipelines
|
|
|
|
Compute pipelines consist of a single static compute shader stage and the
|
|
pipeline layout.
|
|
|
|
The compute pipeline represents a compute shader and is created by calling
|
|
fname:vkCreateComputePipelines with pname:module and pname:pName selecting
|
|
an entry point from a shader module, where that entry point defines a valid
|
|
compute shader, in the sname:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo structure
|
|
contained within the sname:VkComputePipelineCreateInfo structure.

=== Valid Combinations of Stages for Graphics Pipelines
|
|
|
|
ifdef::VK_NV_mesh_shader[]
|
|
The geometric primitive processing can either be handled on a per primitive
|
|
basis by the vertex, tessellation, and geometry shader stages, or on a per
|
|
mesh basis using task and mesh shader stages.
|
|
If the pipeline includes a mesh shader stage, it uses the mesh pipeline,
|
|
otherwise it uses the primitive pipeline.
|
|
|
|
If a task shader is omitted, the task shading stage is skipped.
|
|
endif::VK_NV_mesh_shader[]
|
|
|
|
If tessellation shader stages are omitted, the tessellation shading and
|
|
fixed-function stages of the pipeline are skipped.
|
|
|
|
If a geometry shader is omitted, the geometry shading stage is skipped.
|
|
|
|
If a fragment shader is omitted, the results of fragment processing are
|
|
undefined.
|
|
Specifically, any fragment color outputs are considered to have undefined
|
|
values, and the fragment depth is considered to be unmodified.
|
|
This can: be useful for depth-only rendering.
|
|
|
|
Presence of a shader stage in a pipeline is indicated by including a valid
|
|
sname:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo with pname:module and pname:pName
|
|
selecting an entry point from a shader module, where that entry point is
|
|
valid for the stage specified by pname:stage.
|
|
|
|
Presence of some of the fixed-function stages in the pipeline is implicitly
|
|
derived from enabled shaders and provided state.
|
|
For example, the fixed-function tessellator is always present when the
|
|
pipeline has valid Tessellation Control and Tessellation Evaluation shaders.

|
== Multiple Pipeline Creation
|
|
|
|
Multiple pipelines can: be created simultaneously by passing an array of
|
|
sname:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo or sname:VkComputePipelineCreateInfo
|
|
structures into the flink:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines and
|
|
flink:vkCreateComputePipelines commands, respectively.
|
|
Applications can: group together similar pipelines to be created in a single
|
|
call, and implementations are encouraged to look for reuse opportunities
|
|
within a group-create.
|
|
|
|
When an application attempts to create many pipelines in a single command,
|
|
it is possible that some subset may: fail creation.
|
|
In that case, the corresponding entries in the pname:pPipelines output array
|
|
will be filled with dlink:VK_NULL_HANDLE values.
|
|
If any pipeline fails creation (for example, due to out of memory errors),
|
|
the ftext:vkCreate*Pipelines commands will return an error code.
|
|
The implementation will attempt to create all pipelines, and only return
|
|
dlink:VK_NULL_HANDLE values for those that actually failed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[pipelines-pipeline-derivatives]]
|
|
== Pipeline Derivatives
|
|
|
|
A pipeline derivative is a child pipeline created from a parent pipeline,
|
|
where the child and parent are expected to have much commonality.
|
|
The goal of derivative pipelines is that they be cheaper to create using the
|
|
parent as a starting point, and that it be more efficient (on either host or
|
|
device) to switch/bind between children of the same parent.
|
|
|
|
A derivative pipeline is created by setting the
|
|
ename:VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT flag in the
|
|
stext:Vk*PipelineCreateInfo structure.
|
|
If this is set, then exactly one of pname:basePipelineHandle or
|
|
pname:basePipelineIndex members of the structure must: have a valid
|
|
handle/index, and specifies the parent pipeline.
|
|
If pname:basePipelineHandle is used, the parent pipeline must: have already
|
|
been created.
|
|
If pname:basePipelineIndex is used, then the parent is being created in the
|
|
same command.
|
|
dlink:VK_NULL_HANDLE acts as the invalid handle for
|
|
pname:basePipelineHandle, and -1 is the invalid index for
|
|
pname:basePipelineIndex.
|
|
If pname:basePipelineIndex is used, the base pipeline must: appear earlier
|
|
in the array.
|
|
The base pipeline must: have been created with the
|
|
ename:VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_ALLOW_DERIVATIVES_BIT flag set.

|
|
|
|
Pipeline cache objects allow the result of pipeline construction to be
|
|
reused between pipelines and between runs of an application.
|
|
Reuse between pipelines is achieved by passing the same pipeline cache
|
|
object when creating multiple related pipelines.
|
|
Reuse across runs of an application is achieved by retrieving pipeline cache
|
|
contents in one run of an application, saving the contents, and using them
|
|
to preinitialize a pipeline cache on a subsequent run.
|
|
The contents of the pipeline cache objects are managed by the
|
|
implementation.
|
|
Applications can: manage the host memory consumed by a pipeline cache object
|
|
and control the amount of data retrieved from a pipeline cache object.
|
|
|
|
Pipeline cache objects are represented by sname:VkPipelineCache handles:

|
|
|
|
[open,refpage='vkCreatePipelineCache',desc='Creates a new pipeline cache',type='protos']

|
|
|
|
To create pipeline cache objects, call:
|
|
|
|
include::../api/protos/vkCreatePipelineCache.txt[]
|
|
|
|
* pname:device is the logical device that creates the pipeline cache
|
|
object.
|
|
* pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to a slink:VkPipelineCacheCreateInfo
|
|
structure that contains the initial parameters for the pipeline cache
|
|
object.
|
|
* pname:pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the
|
|
<<memory-allocation, Memory Allocation>> chapter.
|
|
* pname:pPipelineCache is a pointer to a slink:VkPipelineCache handle in
|
|
which the resulting pipeline cache object is returned.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
.Note
|
|
====
|
|
Applications can: track and manage the total host memory size of a pipeline
|
|
cache object using the pname:pAllocator.
|
|
Applications can: limit the amount of data retrieved from a pipeline cache
|
|
object in fname:vkGetPipelineCacheData.
|
|
Implementations should: not internally limit the total number of entries
|
|
added to a pipeline cache object or the total host memory consumed.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Once created, a pipeline cache can: be passed to the
|
|
fname:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines and fname:vkCreateComputePipelines commands.
|
|
If the pipeline cache passed into these commands is not
|
|
dlink:VK_NULL_HANDLE, the implementation will query it for possible reuse
|
|
opportunities and update it with new content.
|
|
The use of the pipeline cache object in these commands is internally
|
|
synchronized, and the same pipeline cache object can: be used in multiple
|
|
threads simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
.Note
|
|
====
|
|
Implementations should: make every effort to limit any critical sections to
|
|
the actual accesses to the cache, which is expected to be significantly
|
|
shorter than the duration of the fname:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines and
|
|
fname:vkCreateComputePipelines commands.

* pname:pData is either `NULL` or a pointer to a buffer.
|
|
|
|
If pname:pData is `NULL`, then the maximum size of the data that can: be
|

retrieved from the pipeline cache, in bytes, is returned in pname:pDataSize.
|
|
Otherwise, pname:pDataSize must: point to a variable set by the user to the
|

pname:pData.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Any data written to pname:pData is valid and can: be provided as the

|
|
|
|

|
Applications can: store the data retrieved from the pipeline cache, and use

|
|
The results of pipeline compiles, however, may: depend on the vendor ID,

|
|
Specialization constants are a mechanism whereby constants in a SPIR-V

|
module can: have their constant value specified at the time the
|
|
sname:VkPipeline is created.
|
|
This allows a SPIR-V module to have constants that can: be modified while

|
executing an application that uses the Vulkan API.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
.Note

|
local workgroup size changed at runtime by the user, for example.

%z = OpSpecConstant %i32 1 ; declare the .z component of WorkgroupSize
|
|
%wgsize = OpSpecConstantComposite %uvec3 %x %y %z ; declare WorkgroupSize
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
From the above we have three specialization constants, one for each of the
|
|
x, y & z elements of the WorkgroupSize vector.
|
|
|
|
Now to specialize the above via the specialization constants mechanism:
|
|
|
|
[source,c++]
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
const VkSpecializationMapEntry entries[] =
|
|
{
|
|
{
|
|
13, // constantID
|
|
0 * sizeof(uint32_t), // offset
|
|
sizeof(uint32_t) // size
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
42, // constantID
|
|
1 * sizeof(uint32_t), // offset
|
|
sizeof(uint32_t) // size
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
3, // constantID
|
|
2 * sizeof(uint32_t), // offset
|
|
sizeof(uint32_t) // size
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const uint32_t data[] = { 16, 8, 4 }; // our workgroup size is 16x8x4
|
|
|
|
const VkSpecializationInfo info =
|
|
{
|
|
3, // mapEntryCount
|
|
entries, // pMapEntries
|
|
3 * sizeof(uint32_t), // dataSize
|
|
data, // pData
|
|
};
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Then when calling flink:vkCreateComputePipelines, and passing the
|
|
sname:VkSpecializationInfo we defined as the pname:pSpecializationInfo
|
|
parameter of slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo, we will create a compute
|
|
pipeline with the runtime specified local workgroup size.
|
|
|
|
Another example would be that an application has a SPIR-V module that has
|
|
some platform-dependent constants they wish to use.
|
|
|
|
In human readable SPIR-V:
|
|
|
|
// [source,glsl]
|
|
[source,glsl]
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
OpDecorate %1 SpecId 0 ; decorate our signed 32-bit integer constant
|
|
OpDecorate %2 SpecId 12 ; decorate our 32-bit floating-point constant
|
|
%i32 = OpTypeInt 32 1 ; declare a signed 32-bit type
|
|
%float = OpTypeFloat 32 ; declare a 32-bit floating-point type
|
|
%1 = OpSpecConstant %i32 -1 ; some signed 32-bit integer constant
|
|
%2 = OpSpecConstant %float 0.5 ; some 32-bit floating-point constant
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
From the above we have two specialization constants, one is a signed 32-bit
|
|
integer and the second is a 32-bit floating-point.
|
|
|
|
Now to specialize the above via the specialization constants mechanism:
|
|

|
sizeof(SpecializationData::data0) // size
|
|
},

{
|
|
12, // constantID
|

---------------------------------------------------

|
|
|
It is legal for a SPIR-V module with specializations to be compiled into a
|
|
pipeline where no specialization info was provided.
|
|
SPIR-V specialization constants contain default values such that if a
|
|
specialization is not provided, the default value will be used.
|
|
In the examples above, it would be valid for an application to only
|
|
specialize some of the specialization constants within the SPIR-V module,
|
|
and let the other constants use their default values encoded within the
|
|
OpSpecConstant declarations.

Once a pipeline has been created, it can: be bound to the command buffer
|
|
using the command:
|
|
|
|
include::../api/protos/vkCmdBindPipeline.txt[]
|
|
|
|
* pname:commandBuffer is the command buffer that the pipeline will be
|
|
bound to.
|
|
* pname:pipelineBindPoint is a elink:VkPipelineBindPoint value specifying
|
|
whether to bind to the compute or graphics bind point.
|
|
Binding one does not disturb the other.
|
|
* pname:pipeline is the pipeline to be bound.
|
|
|
|
Once bound, a pipeline binding affects subsequent graphics or compute
|
|
commands in the command buffer until a different pipeline is bound to the
|
|
bind point.
|
|
The pipeline bound to ename:VK_PIPELINE_BIND_POINT_COMPUTE controls the
|
|
behavior of flink:vkCmdDispatch and flink:vkCmdDispatchIndirect.
|
|
The pipeline bound to ename:VK_PIPELINE_BIND_POINT_GRAPHICS controls the
|
|
behavior of all <<drawing, drawing commands>>.
|
|
No other commands are affected by the pipeline state.

|
== Dynamic State
|
|
|
|
When a pipeline object is bound, any pipeline object state that is not
|
|
specified as dynamic is applied to the command buffer state.
|
|
Pipeline object state that is specified as dynamic is not applied to the
|
|
command buffer state at this time.
|
|
Instead, dynamic state can: be modified at any time and persists for the
|
|
lifetime of the command buffer, or until modified by another dynamic state
|
|
setting command or another pipeline bind.
|
|
|
|
When a pipeline object is bound, the following applies to each state
|
|
parameter:
|
|
|
|
* If the state is not specified as dynamic in the new pipeline object,
|
|
then that command buffer state is overwritten by the state in the new
|
|
pipeline object.
|
|
* If the state is specified as dynamic in both the new and the previous
|
|
pipeline object, then that command buffer state is not disturbed.
|
|
* If the state is specified as dynamic in the new pipeline object but is
|
|
not specified as dynamic in the previous pipeline object, then that
|
|
command buffer state becomes undefined.
|
|
If the state is an array, then the entire array becomes undefined.
|
|
* If the state is an array specified as dynamic in both the new and the
|
|
previous pipeline object, and the array size is not the same in both
|
|
pipeline objects, then that command buffer state becomes undefined.
|
|
|
|
Dynamic state setting commands must: not be issued for state that is not
|
|
specified as dynamic in the bound pipeline object.
|
|
|
|
Dynamic state that does not affect the result of operations can: be left
|
|
undefined.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
.Note
|
|
====
|
|
For example, if blending is disabled by the pipeline object state then the
|
|
dynamic color blend constants do not need to be specified in the command
|
|
buffer, even if this state is specified as dynamic in the pipeline object.
