Awesome WebGPU

Lovely curated list of WebGPU resources, libraries and tools.

WebGPU is a work in progress Web standard from W3C for modern 3D and GPU computing. Its purpose is to get the best performances on recent GPUs from desktop to mobile. Unlike WebGL, WebGPU is not a port of an existing native API. It borrows concepts from Metal, Vulkan and Direct3D12.
