    I think your reached dead status partially for being a new account but on the off chance you're a new account legitimately wondering why your comment got downvoted so quickly:

    It's compatible with both web and Node. In node it uses https://github.com/stackgl/headless-gl to provide Node with a WebGL compatible implementation as Node doesn't ship with GPU access out of the box. They are looking into https://github.com/maierfelix/webgpu or similar which instead provides Node with a WebGPU compatible implementation. Both require N-API. The tracking issue can be found here for reference https://github.com/gpujs/gpu.js/issues/507.
