<h2>Description</h2>

<p>

In the compute language, <code class="varname">gl_WorkGroupSize</code>

contains the size of a workgroup declared by a compute

shader. The size of the work group in the X, Y, and Z dimensions is stored in the x, y, and z components of <code class="varname">gl_WorkGroupSize</code>.

The values stored in <code class="varname">gl_WorkGroupSize</code> match those specified in the

required <code class="function">local_size_x</code>, <code class="function">local_size_y</code>, and <code class="function">local_size_z</code> layout

qualifiers for the current shader. This value is constant so that it can be used to size arrays of memory that can be shared within

the local work group.
