WebGPU Hardware Performance
The WebGPU Frontier
We are entering an era where the browser is no longer a document viewer, but a high-performance compute platform. WebGPU is the gateway.
Why WebGPU?
Unlike WebGL, WebGPU gives us low-level access to the GPU hardware, similar to Vulkan or Metal. This means:
- Compute Shaders: Parallel processing for non-graphics tasks.
- Reduced CPU Overhead: More efficient command buffers.
- Native Performance: Pushing 60FPS with complex 3D scenes.
Breaking the Sandbox
Hardware acceleration allows us to run local LLMs, complex cryptography, and real-time physics directly on the user’s silicon, maintaining the “Local-First” philosophy.
