Direct access the GPU through Chrome | | | | Turtles AI

  The #Chrome #team has recently announced that #WebGPU is now available by default in Chrome 113, offering greatly reduced #JavaScript workload, improved machine #learning model inferences, and access to advanced #GPU capabilities. WebGPU is a new web graphics #API that allows #rendering and #computation operations on a GPU, similar to #Direct3D 12, #Metal, and #Vulkan. This release is available on #ChromeOS, #macOS, and #Windows, with support for other platforms coming later this year. The API is designed with the web platform in mind, featuring an idiomatic JavaScript API, integration with promises, and a polished developer experience. This is the result of a collaborative effort by the W3C's "GPU for the Web" Community Group, and the first implementation is now available in Chrome, with support for Firefox and Safari in progress.
