Based on a recent post about WGSL (the WebGPU shading language) it sounds like Apple is in a legal battle with Khronos so Apple seems unlikely to adopt anything Khronos related.
this might be why WebGL2 never really shipped on Safari. They added a flag but there is no actual implementation.
- pjmlp 7y agoIt goes back to OpenCL, that is why you also hardly saw any OpenCL improvements on Apple platforms, after they offered the initial version to Khronos.
- ksec 7y agoCan you share what causes the bad blood between Apple and Khronos? Is it Nvidia?
- pjmlp 7y agoI don't have inside information, however from some occasional stuff I have read here and there, it seems Khronos was unwilling to drive OpenCL the way Apple wished for, and they weren't happy to have lost control over OpenCL. If this actually the reason, I don't know, corrections welcomed.
