    DirectX-Graphics-Samples

    DirectX-Graphics-Samples

    Samples that demonstrate how to build graphics intensive applications

    This repo contains the DirectX 12 Graphics samples that demonstrate how to build graphics-intensive applications for Windows 10. In the Samples directory, you will find samples that attempt to break off specific features and specific usage scenarios into bite-sized chunks. For example, the ExecuteIndirect sample will show you just enough about execute indirect to get started with that feature without diving too deep into multiengine whereas the nBodyGravity sample will delve into multiengine without touching on the execute indirect feature etc. By doing this, we hope to make it easier to get started with DirectX 12. D3D12 Mesh Shaders sample demonstrates how Mesh shaders can be used to increase the flexibility and performance of the geometry pipeline. D3D12 Variable Rate Shading sample demonstrates how shading rate can be reduced with little or no reduction in visual quality, leading to “free” performance.

    dlib

    dlib

    Toolkit for making machine learning and data analysis applications

    Dlib is a modern C++ toolkit containing machine learning algorithms and tools for creating complex software in C++ to solve real world problems. It is used in both industry and academia in a wide range of domains including robotics, embedded devices, mobile phones, and large high performance computing environments. Dlib's open source licensing allows you to use it in any application, free of charge. Good unit test coverage, the ratio of unit test lines of code to library lines of code is about 1 to 4. The library is tested regularly on MS Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X systems. No other packages are required to use the library, only APIs that are provided by an out of the box OS are needed. There is no installation or configure step needed before you can use the library. All operating system specific code is isolated inside the OS abstraction layers which are kept as small as possible.
