mutcho's GPU load API
This API makes it relatively easy to implement GPU offloading.
Quick answer
Which mutcho's GPU load API release should I use?
mutcho's GPU load API gpuloader_api-1.0.1.jar targets 1.20.1 with Forge. The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both. No extra mods listed for this file.
Where it goes
Is mutcho's GPU load API required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does mutcho's GPU load API gpuloader_api-1.0.1.jar need?
gpuloader_api-1.0.1.jar. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
This file does not list any required mods. Do not add a library just because a different file uses it.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
Before you install it
Add mutcho's GPU load API without breaking your instance.

Warning!
This MOD will not work on its own!
Its internal functionality is provided by an external MOD.
Currently, there is only one MOD that provides this internal functionality:

Description
By using this API, you can significantly reduce the tedious steps required to handle the GPU.
The main syntax and usage of this API can be broken down into the following three steps:
- Accessing and Verifying the API First, check whether the API is available and whether your PC’s hardware supports its features.
java
// Get an instance of the API
IGPUComputeAPI api = GPULoaderAPI.getInstance();
// 1. Check if the main GPU Load component (MOD) is installed
if (GPULoaderAPI.isAvailable()) {
// 2. Check if the hardware supports Compute Shaders
if (api.isSupported()) {
// Start processing here
}
}
- Register the shader Register the computation you want to execute (GLSL source code) with the API.
java
// Create a unique identifier (ID)
ResourceLocation myShaderId = new ResourceLocation(“yourmod”, “my_compute_shader”);
// GLSL source code (string)
String source = "#version 430 core... GLSL source code ...";
// Register (compile) the shader with the API
api.registerShader(myShaderId, source);
- Execute the Shader (Dispatch) Execute the registered shader on the GPU. You must call this from a render thread.
java
// Execute the shader with the specified number of groups
// groupsX, Y, Z are the number of parallel thread groups
api.dispatchShader(myShaderId, groupsX, groupsY, groupsZ);
How to Use (Development Environment) To use this API in a mod under development, add the gpu-load-API JAR file to your project's dependencies.
Also, since this is an asynchronous process, care must be taken when retrieving the results.
