关于arithmetic instruction slots

(208,15): error X5608: Compiled shader code uses too many arithmetic instruction slots (77). Max. allowed by the target (ps_2_0) is 64.

我碰到的错误来自ps_2_0，所以选择了Shader Model 2－》ps_2_0 Instructions

ps_2_0 Instructions

This section contains reference information for the pixel shader version 2_0 instructions.

There are several types of pixel shader instructions, as shown in the table. Columns to the right mean the following:

• Instruction slots - Number of instruction slots used by each instruction.
• Setup - A pixel shader must have a version instruction and it must be the first instruction.
• Arithmetic - These instructions provide the mathematical operations in a shader.
• Texture - These instructions are used to load and sample texture data, and to modify texture coordinates.
• New - These instructions are new to this version.

• PS 2.0 = DirectX 9.0 original Shader Model 2 specification.
• PS 2.0a = NVIDIA GeForce FX-optimized model.
• PS 2.0b = ATI Radeon X700, X800, X850 shader model, DirectX 9.0b.
• PS 3.0 = Shader Model 3.
• PS 4.0 = Shader Model 4.

"32 + 64" for Executed Instructions means "32 texture instructions and 64 arithmetic instructions."

• VS 2.0 = DirectX 9.0 original Shader Model specification.
• VS 2.0a = NVIDIA GeForce FX-optimized model.
• VS 3.0 = Shader Model 3.
  • Note that ATI X1000 series cards (e.g. X1900) does not support Vertex Texture Fetch, hence it does not fully comply with the VS 3.0 model. Instead, they offer a feature called "Render to Vertex Buffer (R2VB)" that provides functionality that is a superset of Vertex Texture Fetch.^{[citation needed]}
• VS 4.0 = Shader Model 4.
