PFND3D11DDI_DISPATCH callback function (d3d10umddi.h)
The Dispatch function executes the compute shader.
Syntax
PFND3D11DDI_DISPATCH Pfnd3d11ddiDispatch;
void Pfnd3d11ddiDispatch(
D3D10DDI_HDEVICE unnamedParam1,
UINT unnamedParam2,
UINT unnamedParam3,
UINT unnamedParam4
)
{...}
Parameters
unnamedParam1
hDevice [in]
A handle to the display device (graphics context).
unnamedParam2
ThreadGroupCountX [in]
The size, in thread groups, of the x-dimension of the thread-group grid. The maximum size is 65535.
unnamedParam3
ThreadGroupCountY [in]
The size, in thread groups, of the y-dimension of the thread-group grid. The maximum size is 65535.
unnamedParam4
ThreadGroupCountZ [in]
The size, in thread groups, of the z-dimension of the thread-group grid. The maximum size is 65535.
Return value
None
Remarks
The driver can use the pfnSetErrorCb callback function to set an error code.
The Direct3D runtime calls the driver's Dispatch function on the display device to execute the compute shader. A compiled compute shader defines the set of instructions to execute per thread and the number of threads to run per group. The thread-group parameters (ThreadGroupCountX, ThreadGroupCountY, and ThreadGroupCountZ) indicate how many thread groups to execute. Each thread group contains the same number of threads, as defined by the compiled compute shader. The thread groups are organized in a three-dimensional grid. The total number of thread groups that the compiled compute shader executes is determined by the following calculation:
ThreadGroupCountX * ThreadGroupCountY * ThreadGroupCountZ
In particular, if any of the values in the thread-group parameters are 0, the Dispatch function does nothing.
The driver should not encounter any error, except for D3DDDIERR_DEVICEREMOVED. Therefore, if the driver passes any error, except for D3DDDIERR_DEVICEREMOVED, in a call to the pfnSetErrorCb function, the Direct3D runtime determines that the error is critical. Even if the device is removed, the driver is not required to return D3DDDIERR_DEVICEREMOVED; however, if device removal interferes with the operation of Dispatch (which typically should not happen), the driver can return D3DDDIERR_DEVICEREMOVED.
