Abstract: Techniques to improve graphics processing unit (GPU) performance by introducing specialized code paths to process frequent common values are described. A shader compiler can determine instruction that, during operation, may output a common value and can introduce an enhanced shader instruction branch to process the common value to reduce overall computational requirements to execute the shader.
