Get started

vgpu runs in two places with the same API: the browser, where WebGPU renders straight to a canvas, and Node.js, where Dawn renders headless for scripts, servers, and tests.

Agents

vgpu is agent-first — the full documentation ships inside the package. Point your agent at npx vgpu.

Web

Render to a canvas with WebGPU, and set up the .wgsl loader for Next.js or Vite.

Node.js

Render headless through Dawn — save a PNG or assert on pixels in a test.

Next: the concepts

Once you can render on your platform, learn the ideas every vgpu program is built from.

ConceptsContext, effects, passes, frames, and render bundles — in reading order.
