IDMLDevice::CompileOperator method (directml.h)

  • Article

Compiles an operator into an object that can be dispatched to the GPU.

A compiled operator represents the efficient, baked form of an operator suitable for execution on the GPU. A compiled operator holds state (such as shaders and other objects) required for execution. Because a compiled operator implements the IDMLPageable interface, you're able to evict one from GPU memory if you wish. See IDMLDevice::Evict and IDMLDevice::MakeResident for more info.

The compiled operator maintains a strong reference to the supplied IDMLOperator pointer.

Syntax

HRESULT CompileOperator(
        IDMLOperator        *op,
        DML_EXECUTION_FLAGS flags,
        REFIID              riid,
  [out] void                **ppv
);

Parameters

op

Type: IDMLOperator*

The operator (created with IDMLDevice::CreateOperator) to compile.

flags

Type: DML_EXECUTION_FLAGS

Any flags to control the execution of this operator.

riid

Type: REFIID

A reference to the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the interface that you wish to be returned in ppv. This is expected to be the GUID of IDMLCompiledOperator.

[out] ppv

Type: void**

A pointer to a memory block that receives a pointer to the compiled operator. This is the address of a pointer to an IDMLCompiledOperator, representing the compiled operator created.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
