A shader cache is a collection of pre-compiled shaders, which are small programs that run on the GPU to render graphics. When a game is run on Yuzu, it generates shaders on the fly, which can cause stuttering and performance issues. The shader cache stores these compiled shaders, allowing Yuzu to reuse them instead of recompiling them every time the game is run.
Yuzu uses a Vulkan feature called "Pipeline Driven Rendering." yuzu shader cache
