WebGPU translates 1:1 to SPIR-V.
- md8z 5y agoThat sentence doesn't really make sense to me, did you mean WGSL translates 1:1 to SPIR-V? "WebGPU" refers to the API, not the shading language.
- sprash 5y agoYes I was referring to the "WebGPU Shading Language" which I abbreviated with WebGPU which should be obvious. The WebGPU API is the boiler plate you need to make WGSL over the wire work. My original proposal was an X extension in a similar fashion that makes SPIR-V over the wire work.
- md8z 5y agoI don't see why you would need an X extension, WebGPU works fine within a browser. You don't need to touch X or Wayland or Mesa or anything.
