Startup Time

Loading Data

Asset Tool can be used to partition an asset for a startup scene in a faster flash memory.

An another option would be to load a small startup scene and use asynchronous asset loading to load next scene in background.

Also avoid to copy the whole asset from NAND flash to RAM. A better solution would be to implement a paging and caching mechanism using a custom Asset Repository.

Persist Pre-compiled Shaders

Use this feature by enabling CANDERA_SHADER_PROGRAM_PERSIST_INTERFACE_ENABLED flag in the CMake project.

Scope Masks

Upload data to VRAM using Scope Masks as presented in the documentation and in the example.
