C Specification

The VkComputePipelineCreateInfo structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkComputePipelineCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType                    sType;
    const void*                        pNext;
    VkPipelineCreateFlags              flags;
    VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo    stage;
    VkPipelineLayout                   layout;
    VkPipeline                         basePipelineHandle;
    int32_t                            basePipelineIndex;
} VkComputePipelineCreateInfo;

Members

  • sType is the type of this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • flags is a bitmask of VkPipelineCreateFlagBits specifying how the pipeline will be generated.

  • stage is a VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo structure describing the compute shader.

  • layout is the description of binding locations used by both the pipeline and descriptor sets used with the pipeline.

  • basePipelineHandle is a pipeline to derive from

  • basePipelineIndex is an index into the pCreateInfos parameter to use as a pipeline to derive from

Description

The parameters basePipelineHandle and basePipelineIndex are described in more detail in Pipeline Derivatives.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-flags-07984
    If flags contains the VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT flag, and basePipelineIndex is -1, basePipelineHandle must be a valid handle to a compute VkPipeline

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-flags-07985
    If flags contains the VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT flag, and basePipelineHandle is VK_NULL_HANDLE, basePipelineIndex must be a valid index into the calling command’s pCreateInfos parameter

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-flags-07986
    If flags contains the VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT flag, basePipelineIndex must be -1 or basePipelineHandle must be VK_NULL_HANDLE

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-layout-07987
    If a push constant block is declared in a shader, a push constant range in layout must match both the shader stage and range

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-layout-07988
    If a resource variables is declared in a shader, a descriptor slot in layout must match the shader stage

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-layout-07990
    If a resource variables is declared in a shader, and the descriptor type is not VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_EXT, a descriptor slot in layout must match the descriptor type

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-layout-07991
    If a resource variables is declared in a shader as an array, a descriptor slot in layout must match the descriptor count

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-stage-00701
    The stage member of stage must be VK_SHADER_STAGE_COMPUTE_BIT

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-stage-00702
    The shader code for the entry point identified by stage and the rest of the state identified by this structure must adhere to the pipeline linking rules described in the Shader Interfaces chapter

  • VUID-VkComputePipelineCreateInfo-layout-01687
    The number of resources in layout accessible to the compute shader stage must be less than or equal to VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::maxPerStageResources
