How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
In this lecture, Jason Yang (a technical lead from AMD) goes over the basics of creating a DirectCompute application that performs matrix multiplication. Specifically, he covers:
- Instantiating a DirectCompute Device
- Writing and compiling DirectCompute Code
- Executing code on the GPU
- Retrieving resulting data from the GPU and passing it to the CPU
The Roundtable discussion for DirectCompute can be found here, the full DirectCompute lecture series is here, and the slides for this lecture are available from here.

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..
I'm working with Channel 9 to get this included in the feeds, there have been some policy changes on Ch9 recently that affected this. I think we'll have it fixed next week.
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?
Yup, a little more complicated than that. But I'm learning
But it shouldnt be more complicated than that imo.. maybe it will be fixed in the elusive revolution9
It isn't actually a permissions issue (the home page is) to set things as video, podcast or screencast ... I'll send instructions to @gclassy
Thanks Duncan, @aL_ these should now appear in videos.
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!
