Shader Model 4.1
Shader Model 4.1 adds support
for indexed temporaries which can be quite useful for certain
tasks.Regular direct temporary access is preferable is most cases. One
reason is that indexed temporaries are hard to optimize. The shader
optimizer may not be able to identify optimizations across indexed
accesses that could otherwise have been detected. Furthermore, indexed
temporaries tend to increase register pressure a lot. An ordinary shader
that contains for instance a few dozen variables will seldom consume a few
dozen temporaries in the end but is likely to be optimized down to a
handful depending on what the shader does. This is because the shader
optimizer can easily track all variables and reuse registers. This is
typically not possible for indexed temporaries, thus the register pressure
of the shader may increase dramatically. This could be detrimental to
performance as it reduces the hardware' s ability to hide latencies. |
