compute shader and imageStore to image2D miplevel

[mtnk4t]

Hi all, I have a very simple compute shader that I want to use to initialize all levels of a texture.

#version 430
#define TILE_WIDTH 16
#define TILE_HEIGHT 16
 
const ivec2 tileSize = ivec2(TILE_WIDTH, TILE_HEIGHT);
 
layout (binding=0, r32f) writeonly uniform image2D imageOUT;
 
layout (local_size_x = TILE_WIDTH, local_size_y = TILE_HEIGHT) in;
 
void main() 
{
	const ivec2 tile_xy = ivec2(gl_WorkGroupID);
	const ivec2 thread_xy = ivec2(gl_LocalInvocationID);
	const ivec2 samplePos = tile_xy * tileSize + thread_xy;
	imageStore(imageOUT, samplePos, vec4(1,0,0,0));
}

the following C++ code invokes the shader:

 
glBindImageTexture(/*image*/ 0, image.id_GL(), /*level*/ myLevel, GL_FALSE, /*layer*/ 0, GL_WRITE_ONLY, GL_R32F);
 
auto subTex = image.mipMapSubTexture(myLevel);
int mipTextureWidth = subTex.width();
int mipTextureHeight = subTex.height();
int glDispatchX = (mipTextureWidth + 16 - 1)/16;
int glDispatchY = (mipTextureHeight + 16 - 1)/16;
glCheck ( glDispatchCompute(
			glDispatchX,
			glDispatchY,
			1) );

Now, everything works fine if I am using `myLevel=0`, but not if I set `myLevel=1`.
The desired output upon visualization would be a "red image". But I see a "black image" for any other level except level 0.


Note, that I allocated the texture memory with this code (that has been proven to work for all other texture reliably):

uint w = this->width();
			uint h = this->height();
			for (int i = 0; i < numLevels; i++)
			{
				glCheck(glTexImage2D(target(), i, internalFormat, w, h, 0, this->parameter().pixelType().format(), this->parameter().pixelType().componentType(), NULL));
				w /= 2;
				h /= 2;
			}

This is the code I use to visualize the texture:

#version 420
uniform sampler2D tex;
uniform int mipLevel;
 
in PerVertexData
{	
	vec2 TexCoord0;
} In;
 
out vec4 outColor;
 
void main()
{
	ivec2 texSize = textureSize(tex, mipLevel);
	ivec2 samplePos = ivec2(texSize*In.TexCoord0);
 
	outColor = texelFetch(tex, samplePos, mipLevel);
 
}

I am somewhat afraid that I hit a driver bug: I use the NVIDIA ForceWare 310.70 on Win7 64.

I found a way around the problem:
I was trying to be smart and did not allocate the full mipmap pyramid but only upto 16x16 because I am using a compute shader group size of 16x16.
Consequently, I allocate now all the levels (one can also use glTexStorage2D to do this) and it works. I am however not sure whether I really _have_ to allocate all the mip levels or whether this can still be considered a driver bug (?).
