Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for caching of compiled shader programs in a cloud computing environment. An initial request for a compiled shader program for an application executed by a first client device is received. The initial request includes a first shader key generated based on first state data. If the compiled shader program is determined, based on the first shader key, to not be stored using a shader cache, the compiled shader program is received from the first client device and stored with the first shader key using the shader cache. A subsequent request for the compiled shader program is received for the application running at a second client device. The subsequent request includes a second shader key generated based on second state data. If the second shader key is determined to match the first shader key, the compiled shader program is transmitted to the second client device.
