NAME
gp4vp - OpenGL vertex profile for NVIDIA GeForce 8/9/100/200/300 Series, OpenGL 3.x QuadroSYNOPSIS
gp4vp
DESCRIPTION
This OpenGL profile corresponds to the per-vertex functionality introduced by NVIDIA's 4th generation of assembly instruction sets.The compiler output for this profile conforms to the assembly format defined by NV_gpu_program4 and ARB_vertex_program.
Note that the NV_gpu_program4 extension has its vertex domain-specific aspects documented in the NV_vertex_program4 specification.
Data-dependent loops and branching are allowed.
Relative indexing of uniform arrays is supported.
Texture accesses are supported. While the prior vp40 profile has substantial limitations on vertex texturing, the gp4vp profile eliminates all the limitations.
Texture accesses include support for texture arrays (see the EXT_texture_array OpenGL extension for more details) and texture buffer objects (see the EXT_texture_buffer_object extension for details). Texture results can be either conventional floating-point vectors or integer vectors (see the EXT_texture_integer extension for details).
3D API DEPENDENCIES
Requires OpenGL support for the NV_gpu_program4 extension. This extension was introduced by the GeForce 8800 and other G8x-based GPUs.OpenGL Extension Specifications

DATA TYPES
Samplers
This profile has additional samplers for texture arrays (1D and 2D) and texture buffers.
Standard OpenGL textures formats (GL_RGBA8, etc.) return floating-point sampled results, but new signed and unsigned integer texture formats require samplers the return signed and unsigned integer vectors respectively. Sampler variants for fetching signed and unsigned integer vectors are prefixed by i and u respectively. Your application is required to make sure the bound textures have the appropriate texture format. So a 3D texture specified with the GL_RGBA32UI_EXT internal format (see the EXT_texture_integer OpenGL extension) must be used with a usampler3D sampler. Otherwise, texture sampling returns undefined results.

SEMANTICS
VARYING INPUT SEMANTICS
Vertex Attribute Input Semantics
For geometry shader profiles such as gp4gp, varying parameters with vertex attribute input semantics must be declared with the AttribArray template-style syntax because a geometry shader accepts an attribute array of vertex attributes (rather than individual vertex attributes as a vertex shader does).
Example defining a varying parameter for the position vertex attribute:
AttribArray<float4> position : POSITION
The set of binding semantics for varying input vertex attributes to gp4gp consists of POSITION, BLENDWEIGHT, NORMAL, COLOR0, COLOR1, TESSFACTOR, PSIZE, BLENDINDICES, and TEXCOORD0-TEXCOORD7. One can also use TANGENT and BINORMAL instead of TEXCOORD6 and TEXCOORD7.
Additionally, a set of binding semantics ATTR0-ATTR15 can be used. These binding semantics map to NV_gpu_program4 input attribute parameters as described in the NV_geometry_program4 document.
The two sets act as aliases to each other on NVIDIA GPUs excluding Apple Macs. ATI GPUs and NVIDIA Mac GPUs do not alias the conventional vertex attributes with the generic attributes.
Binding Semantics Name Corresponding Data POSITION, ATTR0 Input Vertex, Generic Attribute 0 BLENDWEIGHT, ATTR1 Input vertex weight, Generic Attribute 1 NORMAL, ATTR2 Input normal, Generic Attribute 2 DIFFUSE, COLOR0, ATTR3 Input primary color, Generic Attribute 3 SPECULAR, COLOR1, ATTR4 Input secondary color, Generic Attribute 4 TESSFACTOR, FOGCOORD, ATTR5 Input fog coordinate, Generic Attribute 5 PSIZE, ATTR6 Input point size, Generic Attribute 6 BLENDINDICES, ATTR7 Generic Attribute 7 TEXCOORD0-TEXCOORD7, Input texture coordinates (texcoord0-texcoord7) ATTR8-ATTR15 Generic Attributes 8-15 TANGENT, ATTR14 Generic Attribute 14 BINORMAL, ATTR15 Generic Attribute 15 VERTEXID Input vertex ID (integer) Vertex index when using vertex arrays INSTANCEID Integer instance ID of the primitive within the current batch
These vertex attribute semantics should match with the semantics of the outputs of the vertex shader feeding the geometry shader.
UNIFORM INPUT SEMANTICS
Buffer Semantics
gp4 profiles can specify that uniforms be specified to reside within binable buffers.
Example of automatic, compiler-determined specification of a uniform's location within a buffer:
uniform float2 location : BUFFER[3]; // compiler positions within buffer 3 uniform float4 brickColor : BUFFER[3]; // compiler positions within buffer 3
Example of absolute byte offset specification of a uniform's locaiton within a buffer:
uniform float4 mustBeHere : BUFFER[7][20]; // locate 20 bytes into buffer 7
Constant Register Semantics
C0-C255 Constant register [0..255]. The aliases c0-c255 (lowercase) are also accepted.
If used with a variable that requires more than one constant register (e.g. a matrix), the semantic specifies the first register that is used.
Example:
uniform float4 array[20] : C14; // uses c14 through c33
Texture Unit Semantics
TEXUNIT0-TEXUNIT15 Texture unit (but only 4 distinct texture units are allowed)
Example:
uniform sampler2DARRAY texArray : TEXUNIT7;
OUTPUT SEMANTICS
These vertex attribute output semantics match the output semantics for gp4vp.

STANDARD LIBRARY ISSUES
Raw Cast from Floating-point to Integer Functions
It is possible to convert the raw bit patterns of IEEE single-precision floating-point to 32-bit unsigned integer.
floatToRawIntBits, floatToIntBits, intBitsToFloat
Texture Array Functions
New sampler data types for texture arrays and texture buffers lead to new standard library routines to access these samplers.
New standard library functions are used to access 1D texture array samplers (sampler1DARRAY).
tex1DARRAY, tex1DARRAYbias, tex1DARRAYcmpbias, tex1DARRAYlod, tex1DARRAYcmplod, tex1DARRAYproj
The dimensions of a texture array level can be determined.
tex1DARRAYsize
New standard library functions are used to access 2D texture array samplers (sampler2DARRAY).
tex2DARRAY, tex2DARRAYbias, tex2DARRAYcmpbias, tex2DARRAYlod, tex2DARRAYcmplod, tex2DARRAYproj
The dimensions of a texture array level can be determined.
