Description
WebGPU is a new, upcoming API to harness the power of GPUs. While there are already many competing standards on the market, WebGPU fills a particular gap in the spectrum by enabling applications to launch general compute kernels besides usual vertex and fragment shaders right in your browser. While this already opens up many possibilities for interesting applications, the fact that WebGPU is not exclusive to the web, but can also be used to build native desktop applications further improves its unique value proposition.
In this talk we review the main functionalities of the API, compare it to other similar technologies, discuss the current state of development and show some demonstration programs.
