From the Publisher

Provides a concise and well-written introduction to Sh. The book will definitely contribute to enlarging the currently relative small user base of Sh and hopefully help the library grow and get more refined in the near future. Everyone familiar with "regular" high-level shading languages, such as Cg or the OpenGL Shading Language, should take a look at this book to see a new and interesting way of programming GPUs that the aforementioned languages do not offer.
