Comment Feed for Channel 9 - DirectCompute Expert Roundtable Discussion http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/ch9/1/1/9/5/5/5/DirectComputeExpertRoundtable_512_ch9.png Channel 9 - DirectCompute Expert Roundtable Discussion In this video, Robert Hess has a roundtable discussion with industry experts to help you understand exactly what DirectCompute is and the kinds of software problems to which you can apply DirectCompute in order to leverage the GPU for computation.This video features: Eric Young (Manager of Developer Technology, NVIDIA Corporation)Chas Boyd (Program Manager Architect  Windows Graphics,  Microsoft Corporation)Justin Hensley (Senior MTS, AMD Office of CTO, ATI/AMD) The first demo can be found here: Video Stabilization.The second demo can be found here:  DirectCompute FFT Sample (Color Grid Wide).For more information about DirectX, check the DirectX Developer Center and the Windows Developer Center.You can also download the Direct X SDK. The DirectCompute lecture series will receive updates from June 14th through July 5th, so keep checking back on the link. The following videos continue the series:DirectCompute 101: IntroductionDirectCompute 110: Memory Patterns en Sun, 26 May 2013 00:09:57 GMT Sun, 26 May 2013 00:09:57 GMT Rev9 Re: DirectCompute Expert Roundtable Discussion oo ive been waiting for this one Smiley LOVE to see more directX /direct compute stuff on channel9

 

-edit-

i gotta say, while the sdk is great in many ways, the real beginner stuff is not that well covered Smiley stuff like how the stages are connected, where obejcts [meshes] are put into the scene and how you keep track of what shaders and textures go where, that could use a little more explination.. also things like how you combine dx11 rendering and compute shaders in a good way, thats really interesting i think

 

i'd love to see screencasts go from file > new to a direct compute app/ basic dx11 engine. more screencasts in general i'd say, but maybe thats coming later in the series Smiley

i personally have dabbeld a little in directx but im having trouble understanding how all the components fit together.. for example are directx contexts analogus to a 'window'/'rendering surface' or can diffrent contexts render to the same surface?

what is the typical workflow for doing rendering in directx? do you call both dispatch and draw when rendering your direct compute results? things like that Smiley maybe that is out of scope for this series but it would be very interesting to have some talks
about the general 'flow' in directx

Also, there's this great big elephant in the room: OpenCL. You should at least spend some time explaining why Microsoft thinks people should use DirectCompute instead of OpenCL rather than pretending that it doesn't exist.

Granted, the series probably doesn't address this because it may just be a matter of preference or religion such as the debate between whether someone should use Vim, Emacs, or Notepad.

 

Short update here including some discussion internally DirectCompute enables:

  • Compatibility guarantees - any DX11 card has guaranteed feature support for DirectCompute and CS5.0
  • Designed with graphics in mind – often you want to display what you calculate, and D3D+DCompute provides a more tightly knit API to do this than any other, including OpenCL+OpenGL.

Thanks.
