Not important to your point, but for historical flavor--
I'm pretty sure the term "shader" was introduced by Pixar, from way back before Toy Story when they were doing little demos and short movies. They were building very modern-looking graphics pipelines in software way before the first GPUs (I think Nvidia coined that term?)
