Basic requirement:
-
VS2012 runtime
-
DX11 runtime
-
Use test program “VerifyAmpDevices” to verify it
Advantage:
-
Compatible with any GPU which could run DX11 with one EXE.
-
NVIDIA GPUs
-
AMD GPUs (and APUs)
-
Intel GPUs (Ivy Bridge and later)
-
ARM GPUs from various IHVs (soon, e.g. see Mali design)
-
-
Could use Visual Studio IDE for GPU threading debugging
-
Could use Visual Studio IDE for GPU profiling
-
Base on C++ and STL
