Chapter 6Tutorial on Constructing Custom ShadersThis chapter describes how to use the Mali GPU User Interface Engine and the MDE library tocreate custom vertex and fragment shaders. It contains the following sections:• Overview of the graphics pipeline on page 6-2• Data resources used by the shaders on page 6-5• Passing data as uniforms on page 6-7• Minimal shader programs on page 6-12• Assigning the shader programs on page 6-14• Filling a shape with a bitmap texture on page 6-16• Performing matrix transformations in the shaders on page 6-18.ARM DUI 0527A-02a Copyright © 2010 ARM.

Tutorial on Constructing Custom Shaders6.1 Overview of the graphics pipelineFigure 6-1 shows the processing flow for a typical CPU and OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU combination:Start processingApplication running on CPU defines shape data, textures, andshader programsApplication on CPU communicates with GPU to set texturesand shader programsInitialization andpre-processingApplication on CPU makes library call to clear the back buffer(if double-buffered drawing)Application on CPU calculates new shape data or view optionsPrimitive shapeinformation calculatedand loaded into drawbufferLibrary draw function called to perform shape calculation anddisplayVertex shader program executes in the GPU geometryprocessor and calculates vertex data and interpolates pointswithin primitive shapePer-vertex operationsand primitive assemblyThe fragment shader program is executed in one of the GPUprocessors and calculates the appearance of the fragmentlocation passed from the vertex shaderRasterization andfragment shadingThe fragment data is written to the framebufferThere might be additional blending or modificationSwitch framebuffers to display calculated image to the displayBlending andframebuffer operationsFigure 6-1 Processing flow with GPU shadersThe primary function of the vertex shader is to calculate the position of a point on the primitiveshape by interpolation from the vertex locations. This is often called the transformation stagebecause it typically generates a pixel location based on matrix operations on a 3D shape. It canalso:• read uniform and attribute values passed to the vertex shader by the application• create new varying constants to pass to the fragment shader• use matrix transformations to modify the interpolated position• calculate tangents and normals that will be used by the fragment shader to adjust lightingand color• calculate the color for a point based on its distance from the vertices and output theintermediate color to the fragment shader.• modify global variables that determine the position of the fragment.ARM DUI 0527A-02a Copyright © 2010 ARM.
