CD Table of Contents In the list below, each chapter that has an accompanying code sample or demonstration is linked to the corresponding ZIP file, installer EXE, movie clip, or folder containing the unzipped data. In general, a ZIP file is present only if the unzipped folder would not have fit on the CD. Where possible, the contributors have included an executable version of their sample in addition to source code.

Thank you for purchasing GPU Gems: Programming Techniques, Tips, and Tricks
for Real-Time Graphics. This CD contains sample code and demonstrations for many
of the book's chapters, as provided by the contributors. Updates and additional material can be found on the
book's Web site, System Requirements
The system requirements for each chapter's sample vary widely, but for optimal performance, we recommend that you use an NVIDIA GeForce FX, NVIDIA Quadro FX, or newer graphics processor. In addition, you may need to upgrade your graphics driver. You can find the latest graphics drivers here. You will need Microsoft Visual Studio to open up some of the provided projects. OpenGL, GLUT, and DirectX are also required to view all the examples. Many of the executable demos will run only on PCs running Microsoft Windows.
