Preface In the last article , Kylin shared how to add your own post-effect Shader in the custom render pipeline in Cocos Creator 3.8. However, based on the BlitScreen solution, we can only write the simplest post-effect Shader. Today Kylin will use Gaussian blur to demonstrate how to write a multi-pass post-effect shader.

One of the key components of the SDK is Shader Execution Reordering (SER), a new scheduling system that reorders shading work on-the-fly for better execution efficiency. An NVIDIA API extension, it is useful for ray-traced workloads, as it achieves maximum parallelism and performance from path tracing shaders.
