The WebGPU Sourcebook

<p><b>The WebGPU Sourcebook: High-Performance Graphics and Machine Learning in the Browser</b> explains how to code web applications that access the client¿s graphics processor unit, or GPU. This makes it possible to render graphics in a browser at high speed and perform computationally-intensive tasks such as machine learning. By taking advantage of WebGPU, web developers can harness the same performance available to desktop developers.</p><p> </p><p>The first part of the book introduces WebGPU at a high level, without graphics theory or heavy math. The chapters in the second part are focused on graphical rendering and the rest of the book focuses on compute shaders.</p><p> </p><p>This book walks through several examples of WebGPU usage. It also:</p><ul><li>Discusses the classes and functions defined in the WebGPU API and shows how they''re used in practice.</li><li>Explains the theory of graphical rendering and shows how to implement rendering inside a web application.</li><li>Examin
