WebGPU API: An Introduction

By Kenwright

WebGPU API enables high-performance 3D graphics and data-parallel computation on the web. After a decade of WebGL bringing 3D graphics to the web and enabling all sorts of new experiences, the WebGPU API breaks away from the norm and provides a long awaited upgrade to help developers take full advantage of modern graphics cards. WebGPU takes you closer than ever before to the hardware and lets you unlock the power of compute shader for web.
