WebGPU Compute Playground

A lightweight playground for experimenting with WebGPU compute shaders using the native C++ API. This project builds on top of the Dawn project, which is an open-source implementation of the WebGPU standard. It provides a basic framework to write, build, and run WebGPU compute pipelines directly from C++, allowing for low-level control and experimentation without the browser environment.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/daijh/wgpu_compute_playground.git 
   cd webgpu_compute_playground

2. Initialize/Update Submodules:

   git submodule update --init

3. Build the Project:

   cmake -S . -B build
   cmake --build build -j8

4. Run:

   Known Issue on Windows: You might need to copy D3DCompiler_47.dll and vulkan-1.dll from C:\Windows\System32 into the build\wgpu\Debug\ directory for the application to run correctly.

   # Windows
   build\wgpu\Debug\basic_compute.exe
   
   # Linux
   build/wgpu/basic_compute
