 DirectX is a collection of APIs designed to allow development of multimedia applications on Microsoft platforms. For Microsoft platforms, NVIDIA's CUDA Driver supports DirectX. Several CUDA Samples for Windows demonstrates CUDA-DirectX Interoperability, for building such samples one needs to install [Direct X SDK (June 2010 or newer)](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812) , this is required to be installed on Windows 7, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2008, Other Windows OSes do not need to explicitly install the DirectX SDK.

+#### DirectX12
+
+DirectX 12 is a collection of advanced low-level programming APIs which can reduce driver overhead, designed to allow development of multimedia applications on Microsoft platforms starting with Windows 10 OS onwards. For Microsoft platforms, NVIDIA's CUDA Driver supports DirectX. Few CUDA Samples for Windows demonstrates CUDA-DirectX12 Interoperability, for building such samples one needs to install [Windows 10 SDK or higher](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk), with VS 2015 or VS 2017.

 #### OpenGL

 OpenGL is a graphics library used for 2D and 3D rendering. On systems which support OpenGL, NVIDIA's OpenGL implementation is provided with the CUDA Driver.

+
+## Description
+
+A program which demonstrates Direct3D12 interoperability with CUDA.  The program creates a sinewave in DX12 vertex buffer which is created using CUDA kernels. DX12 and CUDA synchronizes using DirectX12 Fences. Direct3D then renders the results on the screen.  A DirectX12 Capable NVIDIA GPU is required on Windows10 or higher OS.

+## Dependencies needed to build/run
+[DirectX12](../../README.md#directx12)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Download and install the [CUDA Toolkit 10.0](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) for your corresponding platform.
+Make sure the dependencies mentioned in [Dependencies]() section above are installed.
+
+## 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."
