|
|
|
<p>With Vulkan, before the GPU can do anything you must create a <code>CommandBuffer</code>. A command buffer
|
|
|
is a list of commands that will executed by the GPU. Once a command buffer is created, you can
|
|
|
execute it. A command buffer must always be created even for the most simple tasks.</p>
|
|
|
<h1 id="primary-and-secondary-command-buffers" class="section-header"><a href="#primary-and-secondary-command-buffers">Primary and secondary command buffers.</a></h1>
|
|
|
<p>There are three types of command buffers:</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li><strong>Primary command buffers</strong>. They can contain any command. They are the only type of command
|
|
|
buffer that can be submitted to a queue.</li>
|
|
|
<li><strong>Secondary "graphics" command buffers</strong>. They can only contain draw and clear commands.
|
|
|
They can only be called from a primary command buffer when inside a render pass.</li>
|
|
|
<li><strong>Secondary "compute" command buffers</strong>. They can only contain non-render-pass-related
|
|
|
commands (ie. everything but drawing, clearing, etc.) and cannot enter a render pass. They
|
|
|
can only be called from a primary command buffer outside of a render pass.</li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
<p>Using secondary command buffers leads to slightly lower performance on the GPU, but they have
|
|
|
two advantages on the CPU side:</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li>Building a command buffer is a single-threaded operation, but by using secondary command
|
|
|
buffers you can build multiple secondary command buffers in multiple threads simultaneously.</li>
|
|
|
<li>Secondary command buffers can be kept alive between frames. When you always repeat the same
|
|
|
operations, it might be a good idea to build a secondary command buffer once at
|
|
|
initialization and then reuse it afterwards.</li>
|
|
|
</ul>

<h1 id="the-autocommandbufferbuilder" class="section-header"><a href="#the-autocommandbufferbuilder">The <code>AutoCommandBufferBuilder</code></a></h1>
|
|
|
<p>The most basic (and recommended) way to create a command buffer is to create a
|
|
|
<a href="struct.AutoCommandBufferBuilder.html"><code>AutoCommandBufferBuilder</code></a>. Then use the
|
|
|
<a href="trait.CommandBufferBuilder.html"><code>CommandBufferBuilder</code> trait</a> to add commands to it.
|
|
|
When you are done adding commands, use
|
|
|
<a href="trait.CommandBufferBuild.html">the <code>CommandBufferBuild</code> trait</a> to obtain a
|
|
|
<code>AutoCommandBuffer</code>.</p>
|
|
|
<p>Once built, use <a href="trait.CommandBuffer.html">the <code>CommandBuffer</code> trait</a> to submit the command
|
|
|
buffer. Submitting a command buffer returns an object that implements the <code>GpuFuture</code> trait and
|
|
|
that represents the moment when the execution will end on the GPU.</p>

<p>The <code>commands_raw</code> and <code>commands_extra</code> modules contain structs that correspond to various
|
|
|
commands that can be added to command buffer builders. A command can be added to a command
|
|
|
buffer builder by using the <code>AddCommand<C></code> trait, where <code>C</code> is the command struct.</p>
|
|
|
<p>The <code>AutoCommandBufferBuilder</code> internally uses a <code>UnsafeCommandBufferBuilder</code> wrapped around
|
|
|
multiple layers. See the <code>cb</code> module for more information.</p>
|
|
|
<p>Command pools are automatically handled by default, but vulkano also allows you to use
|
|
|
alternative command pool implementations and use them. See the <code>pool</code> module for more
|
|
|
information.</p>
