## WebGPU Acceleration
635+
636+
For large FFT sizes (4096+), rad.io implements GPU-accelerated FFT using WebGPU compute shaders, achieving 5-15x speedup compared to WASM. This is critical for maintaining 60 FPS spectrum rendering at high resolutions.
637+
638+
**See**: [WebGPU FFT Implementation](./webgpu-fft-implementation.md) for detailed documentation.
639+
640+
**Key Features**:
641+
642+
- Cooley-Tukey radix-2 algorithm with compute shaders
643+
- Multi-pass pipeline with ping-pong buffers
644+
- 8-15x speedup for FFT 4096+ vs WASM
645+
- Automatic fallback to WASM when WebGPU unavailable
646+
- Browser support: Chrome 113+, Edge 113+, Safari 18+ (85%+ coverage)
647+
648+
**Usage**:
649+
650+
```javascript
651+
import { WebGPUFFT } from "./utils/webgpuCompute";
652+
653+
const fft = new WebGPUFFT();
654+
await fft.initialize(4096);
655+
const spectrum = await fft.compute(iSamples, qSamples);
656+
```
