I saw that Sebastian Paarmann’s MSc thesis (May 2024) and Caleb Andreasen’s BSc thesis (July 2025) describe an experimental WebGPU backend for Futhark (WGSL + WASM + JS runtime).
Is there a public branch or fork with this code, or any way to try the Mandelbrot WebGPU demo mentioned in the thesis?
Also, is there any plan to merge WebGPU support into the main compiler?
Thank you ! Keep up the good work !
Edit:
I just noticed PR #2140 (“Add WebGPU backend”) by spaarmann — exactly what I was looking for!
