ps_4_0.3Cg

NAME

ps_4_0 - Translation profile to DirectX 10's High Level Shader Language for pixel shaders.

SYNOPSIS

   ps_4_0
 
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This Direct3D profile translates Cg into DirectX 10's High Level Shader Language (HLSL10) for pixel shaders.

The compiler output for this profile conforms to the textual high-level language defined by DirectX 10's High Level Shading Language.

The limitations of the ps_4_0 profile depend on what HLSL10 profile to which the translated HLSL code is compiled.

3D API DEPENDENCIES

Requires Direct3D 10 support.

PROFILE OPTIONS

-po pad16
  This will add padding variables to the cbuffer declarations to match
  the 16 byte padding the GP4 OpenGL profiles use. This makes sure
  each variable in the cbuffer uses an entire float4 constant instead
  of the tight packing HLSL10 normally uses.

DATA TYPES

In general, the Cg data types translate to the HLSL10 data types with the same name.

half

NVIDIA GPUs may use half-precision floating-point when the Partial Precision instruction modifier is specified. Half-precision floating-point is encoded with a sign bit, 10 mantissa bits, and 5 exponent bits (biased by 16), sometimes called s10e5.

float

The float data type corresponds to a floating-point representation with at least 24 bits.

NVIDIA GPUs supporting ps_4_0 use standard IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point encoding with a sign bit, 23 mantissa bits, and 8 exponent bits (biased by 128), sometimes called s10e5.

Older ATI GPUs use 24-bit floating-point.

fixed

The fixed data type is treated like half.

STANDARD LIBRARY ISSUES

This profile is limited to standard library support available in HLSL10. In general, the Cg and HLSL10 standard libraries are very similar.
