Shader Model 5.0
Shader Model 5.0 adds support for indexed temporaries which
can be quite useful for certain tasks.Regular direct temporary
access is preferable is most cases. One reason is that indexed
temporaries are hard to optimize. The shader optimizer may
not be able to identify optimizations across indexed accesses
that could otherwise have been detected. Furthermore, indexed
temporaries tend to increase register pressure a lot. An ordinary
shader that contains for instance a few dozen variables will
seldom consume a few dozen temporaries in the end but is
likely to be optimized down to a handful depending on what
the shader does. This is because the shader optimizer can
easily track all variables and reuse registers. This is typically
not possible for indexed temporaries, thus the register
pressure of the shader may increase dramatically. This could
be detrimental to performance as it reduces the hardware’s ability to hide latencies.
