11 | <code class="function">glDispatchCompute</code> launches one or more compute | |
12 | work groups. Each work group is processed by the active program object for the compute | |
13 | shader stage. While the individual shader invocations within a work group are | |
14 | executed as a unit, work groups are executed completely independently and in | |
15 | unspecified order. <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_x</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_y</code></em> | |
16 | and <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_z</code></em> specify the number of local | |
17 | work groups that will be dispatched in the X, Y and Z dimensions, respectively. | |
