wgpu

We have hosted the application wgpu in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about wgpu:

wgpu is a safe and portable graphics library for Rust based on the WebGPU API. It is suitable for general purpose graphics and compute on the GPU. Applications using wgpu run natively on Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 11/12, and OpenGL ES; and browsers via WebAssembly on WebGPU and WebGL2. Angle is a translation layer from GLES to other backends, developed by Google. We support running our GLES3 backend over it in order to reach platforms with GLES2 or DX11 support, which aren't accessible otherwise. In order to run with Angle, "angle" feature has to be enabled, and Angle libraries placed in a location visible to the application. These binaries can be downloaded from gfbuild-angle artifacts, manual compilation may be required on Macs with Apple silicon. The wgpu crate is meant to be an idiomatic Rust translation of the WebGPU API. That specification, along with its shading language, WGSL, are both still in the "Working Draft" phase.

Features:

• Shader Support
• WGSL is always supported by default
• Core Test Infrastructure
• WebGPU Conformance Test Suite
• Track the WebGPU and WGSL draft specifications
• wgpu uses the coordinate systems of D3D and Metal

Programming Language: Rust.
