Note that WebGPU in Chrome is not yet available for Linux.
Firefox Nightly has some partial support for Linux so that the first two of these examples work for me: https://webkit.org/demos/webgpu/ https://webkit.org/demos/webgpu/
- fafzv 3y agoI'm on Chrome on Windows and some of those examples work but most do not.
- flohofwoe 3y agoThat's because these demos seem to be out of date (originally those were for WebKit's WebGPU prototype, and then probably updated along the way but not completely). Try these instead: https://webgpu.github.io/webgpu-samples https://webgpu.github.io/webgpu-samples
- nwoli 3y agoSadly it will likely be years and years still until we get to broad adoption eg to where even old androids can use it

- lern_too_spel 3y agoOld Android phones will support WebGPU the day Chrome ships WebGPU support for Android. Dawn, Chrome's WebGPU implementation, works on Vulkan 1.1, which has been required since Android 9.
- pjmlp 3y agoWith various levels of works, and Android drivers don't get updates, so in those cases most likely Chrome will blacklist the drivers and offer no support.
- kccqzy 3y agoChrome is updated separately from the Android OS itself, unlike iOS and Safari.
- dogben 3y agoIt works with --enable-unsafe-webgpu --enable-features=Vulkan command line arguments. Not very stable though.
