+# dxtc - DirectX Texture Compressor (DXTC)
+
+## Description
+
+High Quality DXT Compression using CUDA. This example shows how to implement an existing computationally-intensive CPU compression algorithm in parallel on the GPU, and obtain an order of magnitude performance improvement.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+Cooperative Groups, Image Processing, Image Compression
+
+## Supported SM Architectures
+
+[SM 3.5 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 3.7 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 5.0 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 5.2 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 5.3 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 6.0 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 6.1 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 7.0 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 7.2 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 7.5 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 8.0 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 8.6 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  [SM 8.7 ](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)
+
+## Supported OSes
+
+Linux, Windows
+
+## Supported CPU Architecture
+
+x86_64, ppc64le, armv7l
+
+## CUDA APIs involved
+
+### [CUDA Runtime API](http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-runtime-api/index.html)
+cudaFree, cudaDeviceSynchronize, cudaMalloc, cudaMemcpy, cudaGetDeviceProperties, cudaGetDevice
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Download and install the [CUDA Toolkit 11.6](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) for your corresponding platform.
+
+## Build and Run
+
+### Windows
+The Windows samples are built using the Visual Studio IDE. Solution files (.sln) are provided for each supported version of Visual Studio, using the format:
+```
+*_vs<version>.sln - for Visual Studio <version>
+```
+Each individual sample has its own set of solution files in its directory:
+
+To build/examine all the samples at once, the complete solution files should be used. To build/examine a single sample, the individual sample solution files should be used.
+> **Note:** Some samples require that the Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010 or newer) be installed and that the VC++ directory paths are properly set up (**Tools > Options...**). Check DirectX Dependencies section for details."
+
+### Linux
+The Linux samples are built using makefiles. To use the makefiles, change the current directory to the sample directory you wish to build, and run make:
+```
+$ cd <sample_dir>
+$ make
+```
+The samples makefiles can take advantage of certain options:
+*  **TARGET_ARCH=<arch>** - cross-compile targeting a specific architecture. Allowed architectures are x86_64, ppc64le, armv7l.
+    By default, TARGET_ARCH is set to HOST_ARCH. On a x86_64 machine, not setting TARGET_ARCH is the equivalent of setting TARGET_ARCH=x86_64.<br/>
+`$ make TARGET_ARCH=x86_64` <br/> `$ make TARGET_ARCH=ppc64le` <br/> `$ make TARGET_ARCH=armv7l` <br/>
+    See [here](http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-samples/index.html#cross-samples) for more details.
+*   **dbg=1** - build with debug symbols
+    ```
+    $ make dbg=1
+    ```
+*   **SMS="A B ..."** - override the SM architectures for which the sample will be built, where `"A B ..."` is a space-delimited list of SM architectures. For example, to generate SASS for SM 50 and SM 60, use `SMS="50 60"`.
+    ```
+    $ make SMS="50 60"
+    ```
+
+*  **HOST_COMPILER=<host_compiler>** - override the default g++ host compiler. See the [Linux Installation Guide](http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#system-requirements) for a list of supported host compilers.
+```
+    $ make HOST_COMPILER=g++
+```
