CPUShader Class

Members

---

static CPUShaderPtr create ( ) #

Default CPUShader class constructor.

void runSync ( int threads_count ) #

Runs CPU shader code synchronously. This method is blocking. No additional threads are created, as the Engine's thread pool is used.

Arguments

• int threads_count - Number of threads to be used. The default value of -1 sets an optimum number of threads calculated for the particular PC.

void runAsync ( int threads_count ) #

Runs CPU shader code asynchronously. This method is non-blocking. No additional threads are created, as the Engine's thread pool is used.

Arguments

• int threads_count - Number of threads to be used. The default value of -1 sets an optimum number of threads calculated for the particular PC.

void wait ( ) #

Waits for running asynchronous shader code execution.

int isRunning ( ) #

Returns a value indicating if the CPU shader code is currently executed.

Return value

1 if the shader code is currently executed; otherwise, 0.

int getNumThreads ( ) #

Returns the currently used number of threads.

Return value

Number of currently used threads.

virtual void process ( int thread_num, int threads_count ) #

Override this method to implement calculations.

Arguments

• int thread_num - Current thread number. This number is not a thread ID, it just a virtual number.
• int threads_count - Number of threads to be used.
