In -- particular, a subgroup has no necessary relationship with the compute -- shader /local workgroup/ — any pair of shader invocations in a compute -- local workgroup may execute in different subgroups as used by these -- instructions. -- -- Compute shaders operate on an explicitly specified group of threads (a -- local workgroup), but many implementations will also group non-compute -- shader invocations and execute them concurrently. When executing code -- like -- -- > if (condition) { -- > result = do_fast_path(); -- > } else { -- > result = do_general_path(); -- > } -- -- where @condition@ diverges between invocations, an implementation might -- first execute @do_fast_path@() for the invocations where @condition@ is -- true and leave the other invocations dormant. Once @do_fast_path@() -- returns, it might call @do_general_path@() for invocations where -- @condition@ is @false@ and leave the other invocations dormant. In this -- case, the shader executes __both__ the fast and the general path and -- might be better off just using the general path for all invocations. -- -- This extension provides the ability to avoid divergent execution by -- evaluating a condition across an entire subgroup using code like: -- -- > if (allInvocationsARB(condition)) { -- > result = do_fast_path(); -- > } else { -- > result = do_general_path(); -- > } -- -- The built-in function @allInvocationsARB@() will return the same value -- for all invocations in the group, so the group will either execute -- @do_fast_path@() or @do_general_path@(), but never both. For example, -- shader code might want to evaluate a complex function iteratively by -- starting with an approximation of the result and then refining the -- approximation. Some input values may require a small number of -- iterations to generate an accurate result (@do_fast_path@) while others -- require a larger number (@do_general_path@). In another example, shader -- code might want to evaluate a complex function (@do_general_path@) that -- can be greatly simplified when assuming a specific value for one of its -- inputs (@do_fast_path@). -- -- == Deprecated by Vulkan 1.1 -- -- All functionality in this extension is superseded by the core Vulkan 1.1 -- . -- -- == New Enum Constants -- -- - 'EXT_SHADER_SUBGROUP_VOTE_EXTENSION_NAME' -- -- - 'EXT_SHADER_SUBGROUP_VOTE_SPEC_VERSION' -- -- == New SPIR-V Capabilities -- -- - -- -- == Version History -- -- - Revision 1, 2016-11-28 (Daniel Koch) -- -- - Initial draft -- -- == See Also -- -- No cross-references are available -- -- == Document Notes -- -- For more information, see the -- -- -- This page is a generated document.
