Shady is a WebGPU playground. You can preview it at https://krockot.github.io/shady.
WebGPU must be enabled for the application to work. Either wait until the WebGPU Origin Trial begins and use Chrome M94, or enable WebGPU locally by following the instructions below.
For Chrome use --enable-unsafe-webgpu or enable it from chrome://flags.
On Linux you may also need --enable-features=Vulkan,UseSkiaRenderer. Note that
Linux support is incomplete at the moment, so it's better to test on Windows or
Mac.
The WebGPU spec is still in development, but this repository should stay in sync with the latest API changes and work with the current Chrome Canary release.
Firefox Nightly may also work with dom.webgpu.enabled and
gfx.webrender.all set in about:config, but as of this writing the API is
lagging behind the spec enough to be broken. To wit, at least the following
are out of date:
- GPUCanvasContext acquisition
- Device loss handling
- Swap chain configuration
If you want to hack on the repository and run the dev server locally, it's a standard Node toolchain. From a local checkout, install dependencies:
npm install
And then run the dev server:
npm start
