Struct bevy::render::render_resource::PipelineCache

pub struct PipelineCache { /* private fields */ }

Cache for render and compute pipelines.

The cache stores existing render and compute pipelines allocated on the GPU, as well as pending creation. Pipelines inserted into the cache are identified by a unique ID, which can be used to retrieve the actual GPU object once it’s ready. The creation of the GPU pipeline object is deferred to the RenderSet::Render step, just before the render graph starts being processed, as this requires access to the GPU.

Note that the cache does not perform automatic deduplication of identical pipelines. It is up to the user not to insert the same pipeline twice to avoid wasting GPU resources.

pub fn queue_render_pipeline( &self, descriptor: RenderPipelineDescriptor ) -> CachedRenderPipelineId

Insert a render pipeline into the cache, and queue its creation.

The pipeline is always inserted and queued for creation. There is no attempt to deduplicate it with an already cached pipeline.

Returns

This method returns the unique render shader ID of the cached pipeline, which can be used to query the caching state with get_render_pipeline_state() and to retrieve the created GPU pipeline once it’s ready with get_render_pipeline().
