Babylon.js supports WebGPU with automatic WebGL fallback, but the upgrade only pays off for CPU-bound or compute-heavy scenes. Here's how to enable it, verify it's active, and decide if it's worth it.
Deciding between storage and uniform buffers in WebGPU compute shaders comes down to write access, size limits, and access patterns. This guide compares both and shows a validated read-write example.
A practical walkthrough of WebGPU compute shaders: async pipeline creation, buffer and bind group layout, dispatch math, async readback, and the honest trade-offs versus plain JavaScript.
