Abstract
To wrap up our section on shader debugging and optimization, I want to spend some time digging into a topic that’s one of the most common sources of shader problems that I’ve encountered in my career: precision problems. These sorts of problems can manifest as visual glitches on any platform, but if you’re writing shaders for platforms like mobile phones, or for web-based applications, precision problems can also be a huge source of performance issues. Luckily, once you understand what’s going on, these sorts of issues are relatively easy to track down and fix.
