WebGPU

Uncommon card · No. 169903

WebGPU API is a JavaScript API, standardized by the W3C, for cross-platform efficient graphics processing unit (GPU) access, with native implementations also usable from Rust, C++, and C. Using a system's underlying Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D 12 technologies, WebGPU allows for graphics processing, games, and more, as well as AI and machine learning applications. WebGPU is intended to supersede the older WebGL as the main graphics standard for the Web. In JavaScript, WebGPU can be provided by a web browser or a runtime such as Deno, while Node.js can use it through an add-on built from Google's Dawn implementation. Rust and C++ can use their respective implementations of the WebGPU specification. Other languages like Python, Java, and Go can use WebGPU by extending the C language specification, while Go can also use a native pure Go implementation (see Implementations section). Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge first released WebGPU support in May 2023 with version 113. Firefox first released...
