wgpu

This is an implementation of WebGPU API in Rust, targeting both native and the Web. It's written in Rust and is based on gfx-hal with help of gpu-alloc and gpu-descriptor. See the upstream WebGPU specification (work in progress).

The repository hosts the following parts:

• - public Rust API for users
• - internal Rust API for WebGPU implementations to use
• - Rust types shared between wgpu-core and wgpu-rs
• player - standalone application for replaying the API traces, uses winit

Rust examples can be found at wgpu/examples. wgpu is a default member, so you can run the examples directly from the root, e.g. cargo run --example boids.

If you are looking for the native implementation or bindings to the API in other languages, you need wgpu-native.
