This repository contains the source code for a sample application that demonstrates the use of Cooperative Vectors, a new feature introduced in DirectX 12. This feature enables standardized, cross-vendor access to hardware-accelerated matrix multiplication units.
The demo was presented at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2025, as part of the Advanced Graphics Summit sessions.
You can find some additional informations here.
- A GPU that supports DirectX 12 Cooperative Vectors, such as:
- Intel® Graphics LunarLake (or newer)
- Intel® Arc B-Series Graphics Cards (or newer)
- A driver that supports DirectX 12 Cooperative Vectors (or newer)
- Compiler with C++20 support
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 or newer
- CMake 3.8 or newer
git clone https://github.com/GameTechDev/TextureSetNeuralCompressionSample.git
cd TextureSetNeuralCompressionSample
Download the Microsoft® DirectX 12 Agility SDK version 717 (preview or later) and the Microsoft® DirectX Compiler version 8.2502.8 (or later). You can do this manually or run the dependencies.bat script to automatically download and install the required dependencies.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DDX12_SDK_VERSION=717
cmake --build . --config Release
The sample executable is called dino_danger. You can run it from the Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 IDE or via the command line:
cd output/bin/Release
dino_danger.exe --data-dir ../../..
You can also get more info about the command line options by running:
dino_danger.exe --help
--data-dir Location of the resource folders.
--adapter-id Integer that allows to pick the desired GPU.
--poi Integer that allows to pick the initial camera location.
--disable-coop Disable cooperative vector usage at launch.
--enable-animation Enable mesh animation at launch.
