<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
<code class="function">glDispatchCompute</code> 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. <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_x</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_y</code></em>
and <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_z</code></em> specify the number of local
work groups that will be dispatched in the X, Y and Z dimensions, respectively.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" id="errors">
<h2>Errors</h2>
<p>
<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if there is no active program
for the compute shader stage.
</p>
<p>
<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if any of <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_x</code></em>,
<em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_y</code></em>, or <em class="parameter"><code>num_groups_z</code></em> is greater than or
equal to the maximum work-group count for the corresponding dimension.
