Description
This extension adds Vulkan support for the
SPV_KHR_compute_shader_derivatives
SPIR-V extension.
The SPIR-V extension provides two new execution modes, both of which allow
execution models with defined workgroups to use built-ins that evaluate
derivatives explicitly or implicitly.
Derivatives will be computed via differencing over a 2x2 group of shader
invocations.
The DerivativeGroupQuadsKHR
execution mode assembles shader invocations
into 2x2 groups, where each group has x and y coordinates of the local
invocation ID of the form (2m+{0,1}, 2n+{0,1}).
The DerivativeGroupLinearKHR
execution mode assembles shader
invocations into 2x2 groups, where each group has local invocation index
values of the form 4m+{0,1,2,3}.
The new execution modes are supported in compute shaders and optionally (see meshAndTaskShaderDerivatives) in mesh and task shaders.
