The High-level shader language or High-level shading language (HLSL) is a proprietary shading language developed by Microsoft for use with the Microsoft Direct3D API. It is analogous to the GLSL shading language used with the OpenGL standard. It is the same as the Nvidia Cg shading language as it was developed alongside it.HLSL programs come in four forms: vertex shaders geometry shaders pixel (or fragment) shaders and compute shaders.
