pub struct DynamicUniformBuffer<T> where

{ /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Stores data to be transferred to the GPU and made accessible to shaders as a dynamic uniform buffer.

Dynamic uniform buffers are available to shaders on a read-only basis. Dynamic uniform buffers are commonly used to make available to shaders runtime-sized arrays of parameters that are otherwise constant during shader execution, and are best suited to data that is relatively small in size as they are only guaranteed to support up to 16kB per binding.

The contained data is stored in system RAM. write_buffer queues copying of the data from system RAM to VRAM. Data in uniform buffers must follow std140 alignment/padding requirements, which is automatically enforced by this structure. Per the WGPU spec, uniform buffers cannot store runtime-sized array (vectors), or structures with fields that are vectors.

Other options for storing GPU-accessible data are:

Implementations

Push data into the DynamicUniformBuffer’s internal vector (residing on system RAM).

Queues writing of data from system RAM to VRAM using the RenderDevice and the provided RenderQueue.

If there is no GPU-side buffer allocated to hold the data currently stored, or if a GPU-side buffer previously allocated does not have enough capacity, a new GPU-side buffer is created.
