What problem does it solve?

Compute shaders enable GPU-based general-purpose computation within SDL3 GPU workflows, offloading heavy tasks from the CPU and enabling high-throughput processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Create and dispatch compute pipelines with embedded shader code
• Bind storage textures and read/write buffers for compute passes
• Use a compute-then-render pattern: compute an image, then render it by sampling the output
• Push per-frame uniforms and manage dispatch group sizing to cover the target texture size
• Suitable for image processing, procedural generation, particle simulations, and post-processing workloads

Quick Start

Create a compute pipeline with embedded shader code, bind a RW texture, push per-frame uniforms, dispatch groups to process an image, and render the result in a subsequent render pass.
