A system creates a single shared instance of a shared function from shader code for multiple instances of the shader. The system creates multiple instances of a primary shader function from shader code to compute instance-specific values. The system creates the single instance of the shared function to compute a value used by the multiple instances of the primary shader function. A graphics execution unit can execute the multiple instances of the primary shader function, including calling the shared function from the multiple instances of the primary shader function.

Constant-based calculations in shader prologue shared function

Methods, systems and apparatuses may provide for technology that determines measured timing data in response to a presentation request from an application, wherein the measured timing data is associated with one or more previous frames and the presentation request is associated with one or more subsequent frames. The technology may also determine scheduling times for the subsequent frame(s) based on the measured timing data, wherein the scheduling times include a simulation time, a rendering time, a driver submission time, a hardware submission time, and a display time. In one example, the technology controls a pacing of the subsequent frame(s) on a display in accordance with the scheduling times.

Frame pacing for improved experiences in 3D applications

Examples described herein relate to a graphics processing apparatus that includes a memory device and a graphics processing unit (GPU). In some examples, the GPU is configured to execute a shader program that is to identify at least two code blocks that are independent from each other and cause execution of an unexecuted independent code block with available data based on use of a scoreboard to track data availability for independent code blocks. In some examples, execution of the shader program is to cause the GPU to select a first code block identifier for tracking completion of a dependency of the first independent code block. In some examples, execution of the shader program is to cause the GPU to identify an offset to a first instruction position in a sequence of instructions of the first independent code block in an instruction queue.
