Introduction to WebGPU - CIS 565 GPU Programming Fall 2023
191Guest lecture I gave at the University of Pennsylvania in November 2023, covering the WebGPU graphics API. Covers a wide range of WebGPU topics, including API overview, best practices, and more.

This is a modified version of the same lecture I gave in person in 2022, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/Hm2_bH_8j3k?si=K3a02JffMUHC1GHg&t=148 The audio was a worse on that recording, however, and the slides spent more time comparing WebGPU to WebGL.
