is tensorflow going to use this?
- enos_feedler 7y agoI would love to see a wasm API for Web GPU and then have a new tensorflow web runtime targeting that.
- zelly 7y agoit would really democratize machine learning so that developers don't have to rent GCP/AWS to serve apps that do inference
- modeless 7y agoTensorflow.js will probably add a WebGPU backend when WebGPU becomes widely available in browsers. But that won't by itself close the performance gap with native ML libraries. For that there is a new W3C community group specifically looking at ways of adding machine learning acceleration to the web: https://www.w3.org/community/webmachinelearning/ https://www.w3.org/community/webmachinelearning/
- nsthorat 7y agoThis backend work has already begun (and can run posenet, albeit still slower than WebGL): https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/tree/master/tfjs-backend-webgpu https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/tree/master/tfjs-backend-...
