To use the Coherent GT SDK in your project, please make sure that the following minimum system requirements are met by your development environment and are compatible with your project requirements for the end-users.
Software Requirements
Windows
Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013 or 2015 is required to build the Coherent GT SDK. DirectX SDK is required for older versions of Visual Studio ONLY to build some of the samples.
- Note
- All Windows systems must have the latest Service Pack provided by Microsoft installed.
- Latest drivers provided by the hardware vendor are required.
- For Windows 8 and 8.1 only desktop mode applications are supported
- Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is supported on x86 and x64. ARM is not supported.
- Some Coherent GT Samples require the Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime (June 2010) to work compile (or at least d3dx9_43.dll and D3DCompiler_43.dll should be added to the output folder). This is not required for the library itself.
- Coherent GT Samples require Visual Studio 2012 or later.
- Windows XP has a known issue with TLS (Thread Local Storage), which doesn't work in delay-loaded libraries. Since GT uses TLS, the shared libraries must be statically linked and loaded on process initialization in order for GT to work on Windows XP.
Mac OS X
Linux
Generally any distribution similar to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
- glibc 2.14 or later
- libstdc++6 or later
- GCC 4.9 or later
- Note
- Only 64 architectures are supported on Linux.
-
Only the latest video card drivers are supported. OpenGL 3.0 support is required.
Hardware Requirements
- Intel or AMD CPU architectures are supported (no ARM support)
- Dual-core CPU is recommended
- 512 MB RAM
- 100 MB HDD space for development
- 20-30 MB HDD space for runtime libraries
Video adapter:
- Support for shader model 3.0+ is required
- DirectX 9.0c or later support
- OpenGL 3.3* or later support
- Dedicated video card recommended
- On configurations with multiple video cards - AMD Switchable, Optimus, etc., the faster card should be enabled.
