The setPipeline() method of the GPUComputePassEncoder interface sets the GPUComputePipeline to use for this compute pass.
setPipeline(pipeline)
pipelineThe GPUComputePipeline to use for this compute pass.
None (Undefined).
In our basic compute demo, several commands are recorded via a GPUCommandEncoder. Most of these commands originate from the GPUComputePassEncoder created via beginComputePass(). The setPipeline() call is used as appropriate to set the pipeline to use for this pass.
const BUFFER_SIZE = 1000; // … // Create GPUCommandEncoder to encode commands to issue to the GPU const commandEncoder = device.createCommandEncoder(); // Initiate render pass const passEncoder = commandEncoder.beginComputePass(); // Issue commands passEncoder.setPipeline(computePipeline); passEncoder.setBindGroup(0, bindGroup); passEncoder.dispatchWorkgroups(Math.ceil(BUFFER_SIZE / 64)); // End the render pass passEncoder.end(); // Copy output buffer to staging buffer commandEncoder.copyBufferToBuffer( output, 0, // Source offset stagingBuffer, 0, // Destination offset BUFFER_SIZE, ); // End frame by passing array of command buffers to command queue for execution device.queue.submit([commandEncoder.finish()]); // …
