Abstract

In one example, a graphics rendering subsystem may selectively link a set of graphic effect modules, such as shaders, to increase processing efficiency. The graphics rendering subsystem may execute a comparison of a performance attribute of a first pre-compiled graphic effect module with a linking criteria. The graphics rendering subsystem may link the first pre-compiled graphic effect module and a second pre-compiled graphic effect module at render-time in response to the performance attribute satisfying the linking criteria.
