Wouldn't work. The right API calls aren't exposed. You would need something like webCL.

- babs474 14y agoA long time ago I did some proof of concept work to do GPGPU operations in the browser with regular webGL, it kind of worked: http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=1828#comments http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=1828#comments I did look into using the same technique to implement bitcoin mining in glsl. My opinion is that it is possible, but not straight forward and probably not worth it, but still a pretty f'ing cool concept.
- rorrr 14y agoNot worth it? If you can make it efficient, you're a millionaire, considering current bitcoin prices. Make any decently popular website, and you have access to thousands of mining computers.

- duaneb 14y agoAll you need are shaders to do gpu computation.
- Bjartr 14y agoPeople did GPGPU before the likes of OpenCL and CUDA.
- vitno 14y agowell yes... just not from a browser.
