Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for fast incremental shared constants. In aspects, a CPU may determine/update shared constant data for a first draw call of a plurality of draw calls. The shared constant data, which may correspond to at least one shader, may be updated based on a draw call update for the first draw call. The CPU may communicate the updated shared constant data for the first draw call to a GPU. The GPU may receive, in at least one register, the updated shared constant data from the CPU and configure the at least one register based on the updated shared constant data corresponding to the draw call update of the first draw call of the plurality of draw calls.
