  26             In the compute language, <function>gl_GlobalInvocationID</function>
  27             is a derived input variable containing the n-dimensional index of the
  28             work invocation within the global work group that the current shader is
  29             executing on. The value of <function>gl_GlobalInvocationID</function> is equal to
  30             <function>gl_WorkGroupID</function> * <function>gl_WorkGroupSize</function> + <function>gl_LocalInvocationID</function>.
