we are developing video process in powerVR. and we implement our filters in GLSL. there is one filter have about 600 line shader code. when we enable it, glDrawArray
seems failed. so i want to know if there is a shader code size limitation? thanks!
There aren’t any limitations of shader code size. Have you checked that your shader compilation and linking succeeded?
If you share the code with us on this thread, or email it to devtech@imgtec.com, we can look into the issue for you.

hi, joe
thanks for your kindly reply. below is our shader code, i am sure we can run it on Ipad and Iphone5, however, it always failed at Iphone4. would you please also share with me some tips about optimize this shader code? i am really a newbie about optimizing shader code. thanks!

Hi,
The shader is extremely expensive. When targeting an SGX540 instruction set, our PVRShaderEditor tool reports the best case is 2712 instructions, the worst is 5284. As a comparison, a current high-end mobile game will usually have fragment shaders that are between 5-40 instructions.
Although there isn’t a limit on the size of GLSL ES shader source, there is a limit to the number of instructions that can be processed by a given GPU. This limit will vary depending on the target GPU. If you hit this limit, the compiler should produce an error.
I suspect the problem you’re seeing on the target is purely compilation time. On my desktop machine, the shader takes 2-3 seconds to compile. On a mobile device, this compilation time will be much higher. This high compile time may cause iOS to kill the compiler as it may appear unresponsive for a very long time. You would have to discuss the issue with Apple to understand why compilation doesn’t succeed on the iPhone 4.
My recommendation would be to revisit your algorithm and see if there’s anyway it can be simplified. If it’s not possible to find a compromise between speed and quality of your output, you could split the render into multiple passes (i.e. output texture of pass 1 is read in by pass 2, and so on).
Regards,
Joe
