Everything about WebGPU
Web standard and API
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. Wikipedia →
