FAQ

When should I use the WebGPU backend?

The mission of WebGPU backend is to achieve the best performance among all approaches. However, this target can not be met overnight, but we are committed to supporting it with rapid and continuous performance improvement. Many exciting features, like FP16, DP4A, will be brought in soon.

How many ops have you implemented?

See register_all_kernels.ts for an up-to-date list of supported ops. We love contributions. See the contributing document for more info.

Do you support training?

Maybe. There are still a decent number of ops that we are missing in WebGPU that are needed for gradient computation. At this point we are focused on making inference as fast as possible.

Do you work in node?

Yes. If you run into issues, please let us know.

How do I give feedback?

We'd love your feedback as we develop this backend! Please file an issue here.
