Pre-build binaries
Besides a computer, you need:
- A text/code editor of your choice
- A windows version that supports the Microsoft Agility SDK
- Optional: Graphics diagnostic tools for debugging.
To run the sample directly, you’ll also need a GPU and driver with D3D12 Work Graphs 1.0 support.
You can learn more about D3D12 Work Graphs 1.0 and driver availability on Microsoft’s blog post or on our own blog post on GPUOpen.com.
Don’t worry if your GPU does not support Work Graphs – just follow the instructions on how to install the DirectX WARP adapter instead.
Download the latest release from GitHub and extract the zip file.
Start the WorkGraphPlayground.exe, complete Tutorial-0 and you’re all set for for the masterclass!
You should see the following window:
