The Slang Shading Language


Empowering real-time graphics developers with advanced language features.

Open and Accessible Slang moving from NVIDIA to Khronos Group hosted multi-vendor governance encourages deeper collaboration with the open-source community and wider ecosystem adoption. For textual targets, such as Metal Shading Language (MSL) and CUDA, Slang produces readable code that preserves original identifier names, as well as the type and call structure, making it easier to debug. Slang can automatically generate both forward and backward derivative propagation code for complex functions that involve arbitrary control flow and dynamic dispatch.
