WebGPU in Chrome 124 gets two very requested features: read-write storage textures for more compute flexibility (previously write-only was the only mode allowed), and support for using WebGPU from additional types of JS worker!

Small release for WebGPU in Chrome 122, but lots of new feature coming soon! We're also working on a WebGPU compatibility mode to extend support to GL ES / D3D11 class hardware so basically all device get WebGPU support/

Having trouble 😤 getting WebGPU to work in Chrome browser?

It has clear fixes for common problems and might be useful whether you're new to WebGPU or an expert.

Chrome 121 supports WebGPU on Android (mostly thanks to Brandon Jones ) and a bunch of other niceties like being able to omit the entryPoint name when creating pipelines (from François). Next release seems fairly quiet but Chrome 123 looks like it will have a lot more new features!

WebGPU is now testable in Safari Tech Preview 185. You simply need to enable via the Develop menu and voilà ;)

🥳 WebGPU gets even better in Chrome 120: Support for 16-bit floating-point values in WGSL, limits increase, depth-stencil state changes, adapter information updates, and more. Check out developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-we… to learn more.

It was great to chat WebGPU, WebGL, glTF, and broadly about 3D on the web with long-time friends Ken Russell 🇺🇦 and Corentin Wallez on the latest episode of the BuildingTheOpenMetaverse podcast with cohost Marc Petit. buildingtheopenmetaverse.org/episodes/web-s… WebGPU WebGL glTF 3D

Spoiler: WebGPU is not 'just' a JavaScript API; it is a fundamental building block akin to WebAssembly, with implications that extend far beyond the web.

Filterable 32-bit float textures, unorm10-10-10-2 vertex format, and rgb10a2uint texture format are now available in Chrome 119.

TLDR; Say 👋 goodbye to global state, sync, and headaches. Compute shaders, video frame processing, and more!🥇🏆

Here are the release notes for #WebGPU in Chromium 117: developer.chrome.com/en/blog/new-in…

Standing out among the small features and fixes are a fix for the caching of pipeline with implicit layouts so that pages using them should now start much quicker! (after the first load)

Had a great time with Ken Russell 🇺🇦 and the ADBPodcast crew, chatting about graphics APIs! (including WebGPU of course ^^) Having never tried the podcast format before it was way more fun and fluid than I expected. Hopefully it is interesting to listen to too!

Here are the release notes for WebGPU in Chromium 116: developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-we…

WebGPU now integrates will with WebCodecs for super efficient video processing! Of course there are tons of tiny improvements in ergonomics, perf and more in the 100s of new commits :)

Emscripten's WebGPU support makes it super easy to target both Web and native with the same C/C++ code with a ~20 line of code difference between the two. With the Dawn or wgpu library and WASM, WebGPU is an extremely cross-platform API!

Wrote a new #WebGPU doc, this time covering patterns for handling vertex data processing in compute shaders (ie: for compute skinning).

Construct now supports the latest graphics technology WebGPU in beta! This is a major technology upgrade for Construct with some big performance improvements. Read all about it and the under-the-hood improvements in our latest blog! construct.net/en/blogs/const…

Construct begins rollout of WebGPU support! It's nice to see that it enables architectural improvement and some big perf gains. Ashley Gullen provided a TON of feedback on the implementation🙏and we're still collaborating on some cases where WebGPU is slower than WebGL.

Here are the releasing notes for WebGPU in Chromium 115! developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-we…

Experimental D3D11 support, unsetting vertex buffers, lots of error message and debugging improvements!

Dawn also gets transient attachment supports and is easier to integrate in your project.
