RapidFire SDK - interface for cloud gaming and virtualization (VDI)

RapidFire SDK

The RapidFire SDK provides an interface for cloud gaming and virtual desktop applications to reduce the encoding latency by utilizing AMD Radeon™ Pro and FirePro™ GPUs. OpenGL® 4.2, DirectX® 9 and DirectX® 11 textures as well as desktop capturing can be used as input to generate H.264, H265 or uncompressed stream output. While the encoding is handled entirely by RapidFire, the developer keeps full control over the configuration of the stream with the ability to adjust key encoding parameters such as resolution, frame rate and bit rate control throughout the streaming process.

Prerequisites

• AMD Radeon™ Pro or FirePro™ GCN-based GPU
• AMD Radeon™ Pro GPU for H.265 encoding
• AMD Radeon™ Pro driver version 17.30.1041 or newer
• Windows® 7 or Windows® 10
• Building the SDK and samples requires Visual Studio® 2013, Visual Studio® 2015 or Visual Studio® 2017
• Building the SDK requires the AMD APP SDK

Getting Started

• A Visual Studio® solution for the samples can be found in the Samples directory.
• Additional documentation can be found in the doc directory.
