Constant Buffering for a Computational Core of a Programmable Graphics Processing Unit

A method for managing a constant buffer in a graphics processing unit, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of shader operations by the graphics processing unit, each of the shader operations corresponds to a rendering context, wherein the rendering context comprises a plurality of constants;
• translating the graphics shader operations into a plurality of threads by the graphics processing unit, each thread executable by the graphics processing unit;
• transmitting the constants into a physical storage space of the graphics processing unit;
• generating a translation table for the rendering context to map the constants into the physical storage space of the graphics processing unit by the graphics processing unit;
• and
• executing the threads by the graphics processing unit, wherein the constants necessary for the execution of the threads are accessible from the physical storage space through the translation table.
