Kgpu

A Cross Platform Graphics API For Kotlin JVM/JS based on WebGPU and WebGPU Native

Warning: Because WebGPU is under active development, kgpu is very unstable! Once the specification is more finalized, this will not be an issue.

Rewrite: Currently the project's native backend is being rewritten to support the JVM's new FFI API (Project Panama). To access the old version, see the jnr branch

Requirements:

• JDK 17+

Supported Platforms:

• Windows 10
• MacOS
• Linux
• Chrome Canary
• Firefox Nightly
