This is an active GitHub mirror of the WebGPU implementation in Rust, which now lives in "gfx/wgpu" of Mozilla-central. Issues and pull requests are accepted, but some bidirectional synchronization may be involved.
This is an experimental WebGPU implementation, exposing both Rust and C interfaces as a native static library. It's written in Rust and is based on gfx-hal and a few Rendy bits. See the upstream WebGPU specification (work in progress).
The implementation consists of the following parts:
wgpu-core- internal Rust API for WebGPU implementations to usewgpu-native- the native implementation of WebGPU as a C API librarywgpu-remote- remoting layer to work with WebGPU across the process boundary, as a C API library used by Geckoffi- the C headers generated by cbindgen for the native headers

This repository contains C-language examples that link to the native library targets and perform basic rendering and computation. Please refer to our Getting Started page at the wiki for more information.
