A programmable vertex shader is made up of a set of instructions that operate on vertex data. Registers transfer data in and out of the arithmetic logic unit (ALU). Additional control can be applied to modify the instruction, the results, or what data gets written out.

Instruction Count

Each vertex shader can have up to 256 instructions stored. The number of instructions run can be much higher (because of the loop/rep support), and is capped by D3DCAPS9.MaxVShaderInstructionsExecuted, which should be at least 0xFFFF.
