Compute shader storage buffers

[Darien.Brito]

Hello there,

Wondering if there is already support for shader storage buffers? Cannot find anything about them in the documentation. I’ve found a post from 2017 where @malcolm mentioned that these would be added eventually:

099 compute shaders with images only?

Hi, Having my very first look at compute shaders in 099 (and compute shaders in general), I’m guessing they’re only meant to be used with imageLoad/Store and deal with image variables, and not shader buffer objects? Guessing for shader buffer objects to make sense a mean to access them for rendering geometry would be needed though I’m not sure how it would work currently. I was looking at this nvidia sample docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/index … s%7C_____6 Thanks a lot! Best, Vincent

Declaring them gives no errors, for instance:

layout( std140, binding = 0 ) buffer Part
{
    Portion portion[];
};

But I don’t see how to initialize them or read from them outside of the compute shader.

Thanks!
Darien

To my knowledge not implemented yet, but agreed these would be very helpful! +1

I would also like to see this feature being implemented
