ABSTRACT:
A system and method controls the scheduling of program instructions included in a shader program for execution by a processing pipeline. One or more fence instructions may be inserted into the shader program. Each fence instruction specifies a constraint that is applied to control the scheduling of another program instruction in the shader program. Controlling the scheduling of program instructions for execution by the processing pipeline may result in a more efficient use of computing resources and improved performance.
