We just finished posting the third video in the DirectCompute lecture series.  The video is titled: DirectCompute 110: Memory Patterns.  In this video, Matt Sandy, a program manager on the DirectX team, provides an in depth look at memory usage patterns in DirectCompute.  The following topics are covered by this video:

  • An overview of how memory resources are used within a DirectCompute application.
  • Methods for identifying execution threads.
  • Data I/O patterns for various resource types.
  • How to utilize groupshared memory to improve application performance.

You can download slides for this lecture from the Code Gallery site for the DirectCompute Lecture Series.  Also, there is a great Hands on Lab that was released at PDC 2009, the DirectCompute HOL.
