Wgpu Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• Learn Wgpu updated to 0.11
  reddit.com/r/rust_gamedev | 2021-10-15

  Can't hurt to go through the tutorial, but looks to be mostly focused on rendering. The hello-compute example works as a minimal self contained example of launching a compute shader, so you might want to try running that and then making incremental changes to it. Beyond that, the docs.rs documentation and their Matrix chat channels might be your best resources

  The boids example uses a compute shader.

• WGPU.NET - Cross-platform bindings for wgpu
  reddit.com/r/csharp | 2021-10-11

  I recently had the opportunity to make bindings to wgpu-native. For those who don't know, wgpu is a cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api. It runs natively on Vulkan, Metal, D3D12, D3D11, and OpenGLES; and on top of WebGPU on wasm.

  Done

  I submitted that feature request here! It's already been implemented.

  Looks like that came from https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/1991. You can read up on the linked issue this solves.

• Multi-language library support: Is it possible?
  reddit.com/r/rust | 2021-10-06

  wgpu can be used idiomatically from rust, can target wasm (experimentally), and provides a native C api that various languages wrap, such as python.

• What abstractions exists that sit on top of Vulkan and Metal?
  reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-10-04

  If you're ok with using rust you can use wgpu which is the higher level wrapper for wgpu-native. It removes some of the boiler plate.

  Do you by chance have an M1 mac? I recently ran into something similar in a personal project, Apple apparently changed how occluded window resource cleanup is handled. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/1783

• What's the current state of GPU compute in rust?
  reddit.com/r/rust | 2021-09-20

  Crates for OpenCL and CUDA APIs are generally lagging behind in feature support. I think we are still long way from seeing v1.0+ releases on those. One of the most active ones in recent development has been opencl3 crate. Then, there are also some examples like blub using compute shaders with wgpu crate.
