This talk will give an introduction to compute shaders, explaining the concepts from a software and hardware perspective. It explains how compute shaders are dispatched and how the hardware schedules the actual work across the available compute units. The talk will also cover important aspects to consider when writing compute shaders, such as efficient use of the caches, thread communication, and scalarization. Where applicable, the difference in the graphics pipeline is highlighted as well.

This video is not hosted on AMD’s YouTube channel, so we cannot put a link to the slides in the description there as we would normally do. We think you won’t want to miss the slides, so before you head over to YouTube (opens in new window) with the image thumbnail link above, make sure to grab the slides too!
We have many more videos and presentations for you to explore.
