So we will start by discussing core graphics aspects, how OpenGL actually draws pixels to your screen, and how we can leverage.
I guess the max workgroup size is a good estimate for best performance. Learning (and using) modern OpenGL requires a strong knowledge of graphics programming and how OpenGL operates under the hood to really get the best of your experience. According to the OpenGL 4.3 spec, you can at least query the maximum number of workgroups and the maximum workgroup size (MAXCOMPUTEWORKGROUPSIZE) as well as the maximum number of invocations. The compute shader is executed, writing the result to the outputBuffer. The focus of these chapters are on Modern OpenGL.A compute shader is a shader stage that can be used for arbitrary. Introduction Compute shaders were introduced into OpenGL with Version 4.3. In this example only the time changes on every frame. Shaders have evolved to perform a variety of specialized functions in computer graphics special effects and video post-processing, as well as general-purpose computing on graphics processing units. Inside the extend block (called multiple times per second) some uniforms are updated: a fillColor, the time in seconds, the inputImg and the outputImg.Initializes the input buffer using a image loaded from disk.It creates a compute shader program from a file.Availability Core since OpenGL 4.3 (Aug 2012) Part of OpenGL ES 3.1 Supported on Nvidia GeForce 400+ Nvidia Quadro.

The second code block is an OPENRNDR program making use of the compute shader: You already know GLSL Christian Hafner 7.
