In this paper, we propose a new programmable shader architecture based on an effective ALU operation. Today's mobile devices need the programmable shader processor for a three-dimensional(3D) graphics. The programmable shader processors require a lager ALU than a fixed pipeline ALU used previously. The proposed ALU architecture is able to execute two different arithmetic operations at the same time. Two instructions which need exclusive ALU operations are inserted into instruction decoders in parallel. Experimental results show the number of instruction cycles can be substantially reduced up to 40%.
