DirectCompute: Measurement & Art

Microsoft DirectCompute is an application programming interface (API) that allows executing compute kernels on GPUs. It is supported on Microsoft's Windows Vista, Windows 7 and later versions. DirectCompute is part of the Microsoft DirectX collection of APIs, and was initially released with the Direct3D 11 API but runs on graphics processing units that…
