April 22, 2024 WebGPU is a powerful GPU-API for the web, providing support for advanced low-overhead rendering pipelines and GPU compute pipelines. WebGPU’s support for GPU compute shaders and storage buffers are a key distinction from WebGL, which lacks these features, and make it possible to bring powerful GPU-parallel applications to run entirely in the browser. These applications can range from GPGPU (e.g., simulations, data processing/analysis, machine learning, etc.) to GPU compute driven ...
