Firefox on Arch Linux with a Vega 64 card + i7 4770k @ 3.5 ghz:
CPU: 0.955s ±0.5%
GPU: 0.003s ±4.3% (295.22 times faster!)
Seems like decent speedup.
It's a bit scary to have a web page have access to my GPU memory though, how does that work really?
Does firefox clear the GPU memory before using it for tasks like this?
- politelemon 8y agoSimilar (FF + Ubuntu 1804, GTX 1080Ti, i7 4790K): CPU: 0.863s ±1.4% GPU: 0.003s ±4.0% (279.34 times faster!) I believe the library is using WebGL with buffers; browsers can make use of hardware for rendering and this library simply takes advantage of that
- jdashg 8y agoJust like JS clears CPU memory, webgl clears GPU memory before access.
