UUSL Compute Shaders

UUSL supports compute shaders: there are special functions, semantics and parameters for compute shaders.

In Unigine, compute shaders have a *.comp extension.

A compute shader is a special part of the graphics pipeline. It allows to execute code on the GPU, read and write buffer data.

To start and end the void Main function of the compute shader, use the following instructions:

MAIN_COMPUTE_BEGIN(WIDTH_GROUP,HEIGHT_GROUP)
	<your code here>
END_COMPUTE

This code is equivalent to:

layout (local_size_x = WIDTH_GROUP, local_size_y = HEIGHT_GROUP) in;
void main() {
	<your code here>
}

[numthreads(WIDTH_GROUP, HEIGHT_GROUP, 1)]
void main(DISPATCH_INFO dispatch_info) {
	<your code here>
}
