NAME
       glDispatchCompute - launch one or more compute work groups


C SPECIFICATION
       void glDispatchCompute(GLuint num_groups_x, GLuint num_groups_y, GLuint num_groups_z);


PARAMETERS
       num_groups_x
           The number of work groups to be launched in the X dimension.

       num_groups_y
           The number of work groups to be launched in the Y dimension.

       num_groups_z
           The number of work groups to be launched in the Z dimension.


DESCRIPTION
       glDispatchCompute launches one or more compute work groups. Each work group is processed by the active
       program object for the compute shader stage. While the individual shader invocations within a work group
       are executed as a unit, work groups are executed completely independently and in unspecified order.
       num_groups_x, num_groups_y and num_groups_z specify the number of local work groups that will be
       dispatched in the X, Y and Z dimensions, respectively.


ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if there is no active program for the compute shader stage.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if any of num_groups_x, num_groups_y, or num_groups_z is greater than or
       equal to the maximum work-group count for the corresponding dimension.


ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet() with argument GL_MAX_COMPUTE_WORK_GROUP_COUNT
