Shader Compiler
Shader compilers translate shader language into code that can be executed on a Graphics Processing Unit. Codeplay has developed technology for and expertise in production of high performance shader compilers for programmable GPUs and embedded devices. Our core technology in this area is a retargetable shader compiler derived from the specification for OpenGL® ES API.* Our shader compiler translates shader programs, both vertex and pixel, into a format usable by a GPU that uses a graphics pipeline as defined in the OpenGL® ES API. Based on our existing highly-optimizing VectorC technology, our shader compiler compiles shader language to GPUs. The technology can be tailored to provide a low-memory compiler engine for embedded platforms, such as mobiles phone’s and PDA’s. Codeplay are highly experienced in optimizing code, specifically in the field of 3D rendering, and we have a comprehensive range of optimizations for GPU processors. Our shader compiler is extremely flexible and configurable, allowing the easy addition of new optimizations or the modification of existing optimizations relevant to the target platform. We can retarget our shader compiler for customers’ different processor architecture, and can provide full source code and support for customers who wish to retarget and customize the compiler themselves. Codeplay is a Contributor Member of the Khronos Group. * This product is based on the published OpenGL® ES API, but is not an implementation which is certified or licensed |
