Execution Graphs

Execution graphs provide a way for applications to dispatch multiple operations dynamically from a single initial command on the host. To achieve this, a new execution graph pipeline is provided, that links together multiple shaders or pipelines which each describe one or more operations that can be dispatched within the execution graph. Each linked pipeline or shader describes an execution node within the graph, which can be dispatched dynamically from another shader within the same graph. This allows applications to describe much richer execution topologies at a finer granularity than would typically be possible with API commands alone.

Pipeline Creation

To create execution graph pipelines, call:

// Provided by VK_AMDX_shader_enqueue
VkResult vkCreateExecutionGraphPipelinesAMDX(
    VkDevice                                    device,

  • flags is a bitmask of VkPipelineCreateFlagBits specifying how the pipeline will be generated.

  • stageCount is the number of entries in the pStages array.

  • pStages is a pointer to an array of stageCount VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo structures describing the set of the shader stages to be included in the execution graph pipeline.

  • pLibraryInfo is a pointer to a VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR structure defining pipeline libraries to include.

  • layout is the description of binding locations used by both the pipeline and descriptor sets used with the pipeline.

The parameters basePipelineHandle and basePipelineIndex are described in more detail in Pipeline Derivatives.

Each shader stage provided when creating an execution graph pipeline (including those in libraries) is associated with a name and an index, determined by the inclusion or omission of a VkPipelineShaderStageNodeCreateInfoAMDX structure in its pNext chain. For any graphics pipeline libraries, only the name and index of the vertex or mesh shader stage is linked directly to the graph as a node - other shader stages in the pipeline will be executed after those shader stages as normal. Task shaders cannot be included in a graphics pipeline used for a draw node.

In addition to the shader name and index, an internal "node index" is also generated for each node, which can be queried with vkGetExecutionGraphPipelineNodeIndexAMDX, and is used exclusively for initial dispatch of an execution graph.

VK_SHADER_INDEX_UNUSED_AMDX is a special shader index used to indicate that the created node does not override the index. In this case, the shader index is determined through other means. It is defined as:

#define VK_SHADER_INDEX_UNUSED_AMDX       (~0U)

The VkPipelineShaderStageNodeCreateInfoAMDX structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_AMDX_shader_enqueue
typedef struct VkPipelineShaderStageNodeCreateInfoAMDX {
      VkStructureType    sType;
    const void*          pNext;
    const char*          pName;
    uint32_t             index;
} VkPipelineShaderStageNodeCreateInfoAMDX;
  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • pName is the shader name to use when creating a node in an execution graph. If pName is NULL, the name of the entry point specified in SPIR-V is used as the shader name.

  • index is the shader index to use when creating a node in an execution graph. If index is VK_SHADER_INDEX_UNUSED_AMDX then the original index is used, either as specified by the ShaderIndexAMDX execution mode, or 0 if that too is not specified.

When included in the pNext chain of a VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo structure, this structure specifies the shader name and shader index of a node when creating an execution graph pipeline. If this structure is omitted, the shader name is set to the name of the entry point in SPIR-V and the shader index is set to 0.

When dispatching a node from another shader, the name is fixed at pipeline creation, but the index can be set dynamically. By associating multiple shaders with the same name but different indexes, applications can dynamically select different nodes to execute. Applications must ensure each node has a unique name and index.

Shaders with the same name must be of the same type - e.g. a compute and graphics shader, or even two compute shaders where one is coalescing and the other is not, cannot share the same name.

  • minSize indicates the minimum scratch space required for dispatching the queried execution graph.

Greater values may result in higher performance, up to maxSize which indicates the most memory that an implementation can use effectively.

Execution of this command may modify any memory locations in the range [scratch,scratch + scratchSize). Accesses to this memory range are performed in the VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_COMPUTE_SHADER_BIT pipeline stage with the VK_ACCESS_2_SHADER_STORAGE_READ_BIT and VK_ACCESS_2_SHADER_STORAGE_WRITE_BIT access flags.

If any portion of scratch is modified by any command other than vkCmdDispatchGraphAMDX, vkCmdDispatchGraphIndirectAMDX, vkCmdDispatchGraphIndirectCountAMDX, or vkCmdInitializeGraphScratchMemoryAMDX with the same execution graph, it must be reinitialized for the execution graph again before dispatching against it.

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.

  • scratch is the address of scratch memory to be used.

  • scratchSize is a range in bytes of scratch memory to be used.

  • pCountInfo is a host pointer to a VkDispatchGraphCountInfoAMDX structure defining the nodes which will be initially executed.

When this command is executed, the nodes specified in pCountInfo are executed. Nodes executed as part of this command are not implicitly synchronized in any way against each other once they are dispatched. There are no rasterization order guarantees between separately dispatched graphics nodes, though individual primitives within a single dispatch do adhere to rasterization order. Draw calls executed before or after the execution graph also execute relative to each graphics node with respect to rasterization order.

For this command, all device/host pointers in substructures are treated as host pointers and read only during host execution of this command. Once this command returns, no reference to the original pointers is retained.

Execution of this command may modify any memory locations in the range [scratch,scratch + scratchSize). Accesses to this memory range are performed in the VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_COMPUTE_SHADER_BIT pipeline stage with the VK_ACCESS_2_SHADER_STORAGE_READ_BIT and VK_ACCESS_2_SHADER_STORAGE_WRITE_BIT access flags.

This command captures command buffer state for mesh nodes similarly to draw commands.

Action

To record an execution graph dispatch with node and payload parameters read on device, call:

// Provided by VK_AMDX_shader_enqueue
void vkCmdDispatchGraphIndirectAMDX(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkDeviceAddress                             scratch,
    VkDeviceSize                                scratchSize,
    const VkDispatchGraphCountInfoAMDX*         pCountInfo);
  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.

  • scratch is the address of scratch memory to be used.

  • scratchSize is a range in bytes of scratch memory to be used.

  • pCountInfo is a host pointer to a VkDispatchGraphCountInfoAMDX structure defining the nodes which will be initially executed.

When this command is executed, the nodes specified in pCountInfo are executed. Nodes executed as part of this command are not implicitly synchronized in any way against each other once they are dispatched. There are no rasterization order guarantees between separately dispatched graphics nodes, though individual primitives within a single dispatch do adhere to rasterization order. Draw calls executed before or after the execution graph also execute relative to each graphics node with respect to rasterization order.

For this command, all device/host pointers in substructures are treated as device pointers and read during device execution of this command. The allocation and contents of these pointers only needs to be valid during device execution.

Action

To record an execution graph dispatch with all parameters read on device, call:

// Provided by VK_AMDX_shader_enqueue
void vkCmdDispatchGraphIndirectCountAMDX(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.

  • scratch is the address of scratch memory to be used.

  • scratchSize is a range in bytes of scratch memory to be used.

  • countInfo is a device address of a VkDispatchGraphCountInfoAMDX structure defining the nodes which will be initially executed.

When this command is executed, the nodes specified in countInfo are executed. Nodes executed as part of this command are not implicitly synchronized in any way against each other once they are dispatched.

For this command, all pointers in substructures are treated as device pointers and read during device execution of this command.

    uint64_t                          stride;
} VkDispatchGraphCountInfoAMDX;

Whether infos is consumed as a device or host pointer is defined by the command this structure is used in.

The VkDispatchGraphInfoAMDX structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_AMDX_shader_enqueue
typedef struct VkDispatchGraphInfoAMDX {
    uint32_t                          nodeIndex;
    uint32_t                          payloadCount;
    VkDeviceOrHostAddressConstAMDX    payloads;
    uint64_t                          payloadStride;
} VkDispatchGraphInfoAMDX;
  • nodeIndex is the index of a node in an execution graph to be dispatched.

  • payloadCount is the number of payloads to dispatch for the specified node.

  • payloads is a device or host address pointer to a flat array of payloads with size equal to the product of payloadCount and payloadStride

  • payloadStride is the byte stride between successive payloads in payloads

Whether payloads is consumed as a device or host pointer is defined by the command this structure is used in.

Valid Usage

Shader Enqueue

Compute shaders in an execution graph can use the OpInitializeNodePayloadsAMDX to initialize nodes for dispatch. Any node payload initialized in this way will be enqueued for dispatch once the shader is done writing to the payload. As compilers may be conservative when making this determination, shaders can further call OpFinalizeNodePayloadsAMDX to guarantee that the payload is no longer being written.

The Node Name operand of the PayloadNodeNameAMDX decoration on a payload identifies the shader name of the node to be enqueued, and the Shader Index operand of OpInitializeNodePayloadsAMDX identifies the shader index. A node identified in this way is dispatched as described in the following sections.

Compute Nodes

Compute shaders added as nodes to an execution graph are executed differently based on the presence or absence of the StaticNumWorkgroupsAMDX or CoalescingAMDX execution modes.

Dispatching a compute shader node that does not declare either the StaticNumWorkgroupsAMDX or CoalescingAMDX execution mode will execute a number of workgroups in each dimension specified by the first 12 bytes of the payload, interpreted as a VkDispatchIndirectCommand. The same payload will be broadcast to each workgroup in the same dispatch. Additional values in the payload are have no effect on execution.

Dispatching a compute shader node with the StaticNumWorkgroupsAMDX execution mode will execute workgroups in each dimension according to the x, y, and z size operands to the StaticNumWorkgroupsAMDX execution mode. The same payload will be broadcast to each workgroup in the same dispatch. Any values in the payload have no effect on execution.

Dispatching a compute shader node with the CoalescingAMDX execution mode will enqueue a single invocation for execution. Implementations may combine multiple such dispatches into the same workgroup, up to the size of the workgroup. The number of invocations coalesced into a given workgroup in this way can be queried via the CoalescedInputCountAMDX built-in. Any values in the payload have no effect on execution.

Mesh Nodes

Graphics pipelines added as nodes to an execution graph are executed in a manner similar to a vkCmdDrawMeshTasksIndirectEXT, using the same payloads as compute shaders, but capturing some state from the command buffer.

When an execution graph dispatch is recorded into a command buffer, it captures the following dynamic state for use with draw nodes:

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SCISSOR

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_LINE_WIDTH

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_BIAS

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_BLEND_CONSTANTS

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_BOUNDS

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT_WITH_COUNT

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SCISSOR_WITH_COUNT

  • VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_KHR

Other state is not captured, and graphics pipelines must not be created with other dynamic states when used as a library in an execution graph pipeline.
