  Sample code for compute shader 101 training

  

This is a talk I've been working on for a while. It starts off motivating why you might want to write compute shaders (tl;dr you can exploit the impressive compute power of GPUs but portably), then explains the basics of how, including some sample code to help get people started.

Feedback is welcome (please file issues against the open source repo), and AMA in this thread.

Really cool to see this being written with Rust/WGPU! I really hope it has a strong future ahead of it - being able to target multiple native graphics APIs with one codebase is very alluring.

A friend and I adapted a wgpu-rs "boids" example to render strange attractors with compute shaders, though we basically haven't applied _any_ polish to it yet:
