NRI Samples

This is the test bench for NRI (NVIDIA Rendering Interface).

Build instructions

Windows

• Install WindowsSDK and VulkanSDK
• Clone project and init submodules
• Generate and build project using cmake
  • To build the binary with static MSVC runtime, add -DCMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY="MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>" parameter

Or by running scripts only:

• Run 1-Deploy.bat
• Run 2-Build.bat

Linux

• Install VulkanSDK, xorg-dev,
• Clone project and init submodules
• Generate and build project using cmake

Or by running scripts only:

• Run ./1-Deploy.sh
• RUn ./2-Build.sh

CMake options

• DISABLE_SHADER_COMPILATION - disable compilation of shaders (shaders can be built on other platform)
• NRIF_USE_WAYLAND - use Wayland instead of X11 on Linux

How to run

The executables from _Bin directory load resources from _Data, therefore the samples need to be run with the working directory set to the project root folder. But the simplest way to run ALL samples sequentially is to click on 3-Test samples.bat.

Samples

• AsyncCompute - demonstrates parallel execution of graphic and compute workloads
• BindlessSceneViewer - bindless GPU-driven rendering test
• Buffers - various buffer-related stuff
• Clear - minimal example of rendering using framebuffer clears only
• ClearStorage - clear storage testing
• DeviceInfo - queries and prints out information about device groups in the system
• DescriptorHeapIndexing - HLSL dynamic resources demonstration (dynamically indexed descriptor heaps)
• InputAttachment - "dynamic rendering local read" demonstration (reading on-chip rendering results)
• LowLatency - low latency demonstration
• Multisample - multisample rendering testing
• MultiThreading - shows advantages of multi-threaded command buffer recording
• Multiview - multiview demonstration in LAYER_BASED mode (VK and D3D12 compatible)
• RayTracingBoxes - a more advanced ray tracing example with many BLASes in TLAS
• RayTracingTriangle - simple triangle rendering through ray tracing
• Readback - getting data from the GPU back to the CPU
• Resize - demonstrates window resize
• Resources - various resources allocation related stuff
• SceneViewer - loading & rendering of meshes with materials (also tests programmable sample locations, shading rate and pipeline statistics)
• Triangle - simple textured triangle rendering (also multiview demonstration in FLEXIBLE mode)
• Wrapper - shows how to wrap native D3D11/D3D12/VK objects into NRI entities
