Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide a general purpose graphics processing device, comprising a general purpose graphics processing compute block to process a workload including graphics or compute operations, a memory, and a constant folding unit comprising a processing unit to receive a first input shader and metadata for the first input shader, receive a first constant buffer comprising runtime constants for the first input shader, and generate an improved shader from the first input shader and the runtime constants. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
