=== Vertex attribute alignment ===

Vertex components which are defined through [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_ATTRIBBUFFERi_CONFIG1|GPUREG_ATTRIBBUFFERi_CONFIG1]] will be aligned.

Vertex components which are defined through [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_ATTRIBBUFFERi_CONFIG1|GPUREG_ATTRIBBUFFERi_CONFIG1]] will be accessed aligned by the GPU.

* Vertex attributes will be aligned to their component element size.

* Padding attributes (Component type > 11) will always aligned to 4 byte offets into the buffer.

* The stride should ~~remain~~ passed unaligned.

* The stride which is passed to the GPU should be passed unaligned.

=== Output mapping in GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_MASK ===

The output masking in [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_MASK|GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_MASK]] influences how the registers starting at [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_Oi|GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_Oi]] ~~will~~ map to outputs in the shader.

The output masking in [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_MASK|GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_MASK]] influences how the registers starting at [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_Oi|GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_Oi]] map to outputs in the shader.

If an output is disabled in [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_MASK|GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_MASK]] it means that no slot in the [[GPU/Internal_Registers#GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_Oi|GPUREG_SH_OUTMAP_Oi]] registers is consumed.
