Abstract
A method and apparatus provides for compiling a plurality of shaders, each shader having a plurality of computer-readable statements, into a plurality of computer-executable instructions. In one example, the method and apparatus, using a computing device, receives the plurality of shaders used in a process pipeline for performing at least one shading function, determines a shader type of each of the plurality of shaders based on the at least one shading function, and compiles the plurality of shaders by generating the computer-executable instructions using data including a shader descriptor for each of the plurality of shaders, resulting in the shading functions of the plurality of shaders combined together.
