Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may receive a set of draw call instructions corresponding to a graphics workload, where the set of draw call instructions is associated with at least one run-time parameter. The apparatus may also obtain a first shader program associated with storing data in a system memory and at least one second shader program associated with storing data in a constant memory. Further, the apparatus may execute the first shader program or the at least one second shader program based on whether the at least one run-time parameter is less than or equal to a size of the constant memory. The apparatus may also update or maintain a configuration of a shader processor or a streaming processor based on executing the first shader program or the at least one second shader program.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for runtime optimization of the shader execution flow. A graphics processor may obtain instruction execution data associated with a graphics workload, the instruction execution data including graphics data for a set of shader operations. The graphics processor may configure, at a first iteration, at least one predication value based on the instruction execution data including the graphics data for the set of shader operations. The graphics processor may adjust, at a second iteration, an execution flow of the graphics workload based on the configured at least one predication value, the execution flow of the graphics workload including the set of shader operations. The graphics processor may execute or refrain from executing, at the second iteration, each of the set of shader operations based on the adjusted execution flow of the graphics workload.
