class ComputeNode

Bases:

Bases: PandaNode

A special node, the sole purpose of which is to invoke a dispatch operation on the assigned compute shader.

Inheritance diagram

__init__(name: str): Creates a ComputeNode with the given name. Use addDispatch() and also assign a shader using a ShaderAttrib.

addDispatch(num_groups: LVecBase3i): Adds a dispatch command with the given number of work groups in the X, Y, and Z dimensions. Any of these values may be set to 1 if the respective dimension should not be used.

addDispatch(num_groups_x: int, num_groups_y: int, num_groups_z: int): Adds a dispatch command with the given number of work groups in the X, Y, and Z dimensions. Any of these values may be set to 1 if the respective dimension should not be used.

clearDispatches(): Removes all dispatch commands.

property dispatches → Sequence[LVecBase3i]: Returns/Sets the group counts of the nth dispatch associated with this object.

static getClassType() → TypeHandle

getDispatch(i: int) → LVecBase3i: Returns the group counts of the nth dispatch associated with this object.

getDispatches() → list

getNumDispatches() → int: Returns the number of times addDispatch() has been called on this object.

insertDispatch(i: int, num_groups: LVecBase3i): Inserts a dispatch command with the given number of work groups in the X, Y, and Z dimensions at the given position in the list of dispatch commands. Any of these values may be set to 1 if the respective dimension should not be used.

removeDispatch(i: int): Erases the given dispatch index from the list.

setDispatch(i: int, num_groups: LVecBase3i): Sets the group counts of the nth dispatch associated with this object.
