vulkan - Pipeline barriers across multiple shaders? -


judging vulkan barriers explained, seems each vkcmdpipelinebarrier introduces dependency between 2 subsequent pipeline “runs”. typical scenario of shader writes image , shader b samples same image, might this:

  1. dispatch shader writes image a
  2. vkcmdpipelinebarrier(cmd, vk_pipeline_stage_color_attachment_output_bit, vk_pipeline_stage_fragment_shader_bit, ...);
  3. dispatch shader reads image a

this defines dependency first shader execution's color attachment stage second shader execution's fragment stage. if want run independent commands in between? example

  1. dispatch shader writes image a
  2. dispatch unrelated shader doesn't touch image a
  3. vkcmdpipelinebarrier(cmd, vk_pipeline_stage_color_attachment_output_bit, vk_pipeline_stage_fragment_shader_bit, ...);
  4. dispatch shader reads image a

this still works, inefficient: because fragment shader stage has wait color attachment output stage of previous, unrelated shader. how specify dependency on shader before it?

you looking events. https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/view/1.0.57.0/windows/vkspec.html#synchronization-events

events synchronization primitive can used insert fine-grained dependency between commands submitted same queue, or between host , queue. events have 2 states - signaled , unsignaled. application can signal event, or unsignal it, on either host or device. device can wait event become signaled before executing further operations. no command exists wait event become signaled on host, current state of event can queried.

when recording command buffer, signal event via vkcmdsetevent after operation. thereafter vkcmdwaitevents can used define memory dependency between prior event signal operations , subsequent commands. see https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/view/1.0.57.0/windows/vkspec.html#vkcmdwaitevents.

make sure reset event before using again via vkcmdresetevent. , note:

applications should careful avoid race conditions when using events. there no direct ordering guarantee between vkcmdresetevent command , vkcmdwaitevents command submitted after it, other execution dependency must included between these commands (e.g. semaphore).

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
