Optimization

Optimization is a key component of development on GPUs so that developers can efficiently run applications and games on devices. For graphical applications, optimization usually means modifying an application to make it more performant. A low frame rate means that the application appears jumpy and can make games applications unsatisfactory for the end user. Various optimization practices can improve applications, which in turn makes using the application a better, smoother experience. The following examples are of various types of optimizations:

• Increase the frame rate
• Make content more detailed
• Reduce power consumption
• Use less memory bandwidth
• Use fewer clock cycles per frame
• Reduce memory footprint
• Reduce download size
