Some of you don't just want to learn C++ AMP, but you also want to present on C++ AMP to your colleagues, or at user groups and other such events. To help you with that goal, we have made available a set of slides from which you can pick the ones that...

The previous posts in this series on C++ AMP array_view covered: Introduction to array_view and some of its key semantic aspects Implicit synchronization on destruction of array_view s array_view discard_data function Caching and coherence...

In this sample we present a C++ AMP implementation of fluid simulation using the Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm. The method was devised in 1970s by Gingold and Monaghan. Although originally meant for the simulation of astrophysical entities...

For CUDA programmers, as you know, we have published a customized C++ AMP learning guide . If you know CUDA and are planning to use C++ AMP for new projects or for porting existing projects, you can follow the guide to see how to learn C++ AMP. In addition...

C++ AMP includes a performance optimization technology called tiling . There are three major ingredients for using tiling: scheduling thread tiles with tiled parallel_for_each , declaring variables with the tile_static storage class, and use tile_barrier...

The previous posts in this series on C++ AMP array_view covered: Introduction to array_view and some of its key semantic aspects Implicit synchronization on destruction of array_view s array_view discard_data function In this post I...

The primary goal of offloading work to a GPU is improve performance – either because you need to reduce your coffee consumption waiting for an answer or you are tired of rushing to the wall to plug in your laptop. However, performance may be limited...

This sample demonstrates implementation of image morphing . This image transformation technique, dating back to late 80s, is calculating smooth transition between two images, keeping the selected features (e.g. eyes, nose) in images matching each other...

This post assumes you have read the introduction and prerequisite: Visual Studio Race Detection for C++ AMP . I will also assume that you have enabled all the race detection hazard options of the Exceptions dialog, as described in that prerequisite blog...

We've shown previously how to get started with GPU debugging in Visual Studio 2012 . If you read that post you know the simple steps required to hit a breakpoint in restrict(amp) code. Next you'll want to learn about the actual parallel and GPU debugging...

The previous posts in this series on C++ AMP array_view covered: Introduction to array_view and some of its key semantic aspects Implicit synchronization on destruction of array_view s This post will describe the discard_data function on...

In this blog post I am sharing a sample named Random Traveler, which demonstrates a graph based algorithm. Using the sample The random traveler starts at an airport, takes an outgoing flight, reaches another airport, again takes an outgoing flight from...

The previous post in this series introduced array_view s, why you should prefer using them in your C++ AMP code, and some key semantic aspects of array_view . In this post we will look at the implicit synchronization behavior on destruction of array_view...

Some of our existing and upcoming blog posts illustrate how to get the best performance from C++ AMP, with a focus on today’s DirectX 11 GPUs, and a focus on our v1 capabilities. This post will serve as an index into current and future blog posts...

Norms and unorms are commonly used as texture types; especially when each texture element represents 32-bit RGBA color data. Each 8-bit integer component copied in from the host is interpreted as an 8-bit fixed-point number on the accelerator using textures...

This is the first in a series of posts where I will take you through some of the finer semantic aspects of the C++ AMP concurrency::array_view template type and its inner workings, knowledge that I hope you will find useful in writing functionally correct...

Helped by the recent advances in modern languages (such as async/await in C#) and frameworks (such as Node.js), non-blocking programming has firmly entered the zeitgeist of the development community. On Windows, non-blocking I/O programming has traditionally...

While Visual Studio 2012, and hence C++ AMP, haven’t shipped yet, there are already experienced 3 rd party experts to help you with your C++ AMP projects and I’ll highlight here two of them.   EM Photonics have worked closely with us in the development...

Hi, my name is Cagri Aslan and I am a developer in the Visual Studio debugger team working closely with the C++ AMP team. In this post, I’m going to talk about the race detection capability we’ve added to Visual Studio for C++ AMP code. ...

As you know, with C++ AMP you can perform a computation through parallel_for_each and you can pass data to the computation (and hence to the accelerator ) by capturing the data in the lambda that you pass to the parallel_for_each . Two common ways to...

As more powerful discrete GPUs make their way into laptops and notebooks, we are seeing new technologies which help balance the battery life and performance of these devices. In this blog post I would like to address problems that some of you may have...

We have walked you through the C++ AMP texture feature with this series on concurrency::graphics , including how to interop with DirectX11 textures in C++ AMP . In this blog post, I will use a sample that implements some image effects to show you how...
