Swift Shader 3.0 which is also known as Pixel Shader, is a software that is used by usually those people who have a low graphic card that means they are unable to play some games or may be if they can play the game play too slow and one can't enjoy the game fully.So for those game lovers Swift Shader.
Introduction
SwiftShader is a high-performance CPU-based implementation of the Vulkan graphics APIs12. Its goal is to provide hardware independence for advanced 3D graphics.
NOTE: SwiftShader's OpenGL ES frontend is no longer supported, and will eventually be removed. Read more about our recommendation to use ANGLE on top of SwiftShader Vulkan here.
Building

- A pixel shader is a software program that is used when processing graphics and it computes color and other graphic attributes of a pixel. It is possible to identify the pixel shader version of the graphics card installed on a computer system.
SwiftShader libraries can be built for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
Android and Chrome (OS) build environments are also supported.
CMake
Install CMake for Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows and use either the GUI or run the following terminal commands:Visual Studio
To build the Vulkan ICD library, use Visual Studio 2019 to open the project folder and wait for it to run CMake. Open the CMake Targets View in the Solution Explorer and select the vk_swiftshader project to build it.
Usage
The SwiftShader libraries act as drop-in replacements for graphics drivers.
On Windows, most applications can be made to use SwiftShader's DLLs by placing them in the same folder as the executable. On Linux, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or -rpath linker option can be used to direct applications to search for shared libraries in the indicated directory first.
In general, Vulkan applications look for a shared library named vulkan-1.dll on Windows (vulkan-1.so on Linux). This ‘loader’ library then redirects API calls to the actual Installable Client Driver (ICD). SwiftShader's ICD is named libvk_swiftshader.dll, but it can be renamed to vulkan-1.dll to be loaded directly by the application. Alternatively, you can set the VK_ICD_FILENAMES environment variable to the path to vk_swiftshader_icd.json file that is generated under the build directory (e.g. .SwiftShaderbuildWindowsvk_swiftshader_icd.json). To learn more about how Vulkan loading works, read the official documentation here.
Contributing
See CONTRIBUTING.txt for important contributing requirements.
The canonical repository for SwiftShader is hosted at: https://swiftshader.googlesource.com/SwiftShader
All changes must be reviewed and approved in the Gerrit review tool at: https://swiftshader-review.googlesource.com
Authenticate your account here: https://swiftshader-review.googlesource.com/new-password
All changes require a Change-ID tag in the commit message. A commit hook may be used to add this tag automatically, and can be found at: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg. To clone the repository and install the commit hook in one go:
Changes are uploaded to Gerrit by executing:
When ready, add a project owner as a reviewer on your change.
Some tests will automatically be run against the change. Notably, presubmit.sh verifies the change has been formatted using clang-format 10.0. Most IDEs come with clang-format support, but may require downgrading to clang-format version 10.0.

Testing
SwiftShader's OpenGL ES implementation can be tested using the dEQP test suite.
See docs/dEQP.md for details.
Third-Party Dependencies
The third_party directory contains projects which originated outside of SwiftShader:
subzero contains a fork of the Subzero project. It is part of Google Chrome‘s (Portable) Native Client project. Its authoritative source is at https://chromium.googlesource.com/native_client/pnacl-subzero/. The fork was made using git-subtree to include all of Subzero’s history, and until further notice it should not diverge from the upstream project. Contributions must be tested using the README instructions, reviewed at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com, and then pulled into the SwiftShader repository.
llvm-subzero contains a minimized set of LLVM dependencies of the Subzero project.
PowerVR_SDK contains a subset of the PowerVR Graphics Native SDK for running several sample applications.
googletest contains the Google Test project, as a Git submodule. It is used for running unit tests for Chromium, and Reactor unit tests. Run git submodule update --init to obtain/update the code. Any contributions should be made upstream.
