DirectCompute Lecture Series 120: Basics of DirectCompute Application Development

awsome suff, but not only is the video not visible on the frontpage, its not even visible in the video or screencasts pages Seems strange to me that that could even happen..

ok.. i thought you "were" channel9

these videos are great and it would be sucha shame if they arent watched just because people cant fin them. ive no doubt that you're doing what you can it out there, im more confused as to how channel9 actually works

i always thought that if you where a niner and had some specially premission set on you, you could post videos and tag them as video,podcast or screencast, and that'd be it i guess its more complicated then?

But it shouldnt be more complicated than that imo.. maybe it will be fixed in the elusive revolution9

cool

it would be really fun to have some interviews with the c9 team how a video makes it from the producer to the channel9 page, how its encoded and thwe posting process and stuff like that

Hi,

I hope someone here can help me with this problem:

If you have a compute intensive compute shader it will likely happen that the "WDDM Time Detection and Recovery" mechanism resets the graphics driver because the GPU is busy for over 2 seconds. This is not so funny if you want to compute something.

Is there a way do execute compute shaders which take more than 2 secs for computation and prevent this WDDM TDR mechanism? Noone at the AMD Dev Forums answered, so I try it here.

BTW here is another person who encountered the problem: http://forums.xna.com/forums/p/53326/323308.aspx

Thanks in advance.

There's a way to disable the TDR mechanism using the registry.

Here is some info regarding Vista.  Probably the same for Win7, but no gaurantees.

Thx for the answer. I know that you can increase the timeout or completely disable this feature and that is what i actually did to run my program.

But this is not a real solution for the problem, especially for end users.

Is the visual studio solution that was used in the video available for download?

I know I can try copy and pasting the code snippets out of the powerpoint presentation file, but I'm not completely confident that I have the skills to get that all compiled and working.

Newbie question...

Which version of Visual Studio do I need to get to compile for direct compute? I have Win 7, I have appropriate hardware... just not sure about what development tools I have to get.

Cheers!
