caching the shader

Sankar

Hi

In Mali GPUs, from where the shader programs are executed? Does the active shader program always resides in the cache memory of the GPU or is  there a dedicated memory for the shader programs?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pete,

    No problem if it is confidential. I reason for asking the question is i am currently estimating the memory bandwith requirement. So i wanted to know if the shaders will be executed from main memory, then i have to consider that in my estimation.

    With the reason for my question mentioned above and without breaking your GPUs confidentiality, if you can give me any suggestions for my memory bandwidth estimation, i will be thankful to you.

    Thanks for your time!

    Compared to the typical dataset for a GPU (geometry data, texture data, etc) shaders should really be in the noise when it comes to bandwidth.
