What Hacker News says?
I wish there were a good way to profile WebGPU code. I've seen this (very useful) article[1] on setting up PIX, but I'm ambitious. I want to see everything from draw call timings to flamegraphs of shader code. Right now I feel like the only way to write efficient WebGPU code is to deeply understand specific GPU architectures. I hope some day there's a dev tools tab that shows me I'm spending too much time sampling a…

HN discussionAuthor of the WebGL volume rendering tutorial [0] you mentioned in the readme here, great work! Working in WebGL/JS is nice since you can deploy it everywhere, but it can be really hard for graphics programming as you've found because there are very few tools for doing real GPU/graphics debugging for WebGL. The only one I know of is [1], and I've had limited success with it. WebGPU is a great next step, it provides…

HN discussionI’ve been able to profile using PIX following this guide: https://toji.dev/webgpu-profiling/pix . The WebGPU inspector extension is fantastic as well

HN discussionSounds good! Yeah so I have no sophisticated tools, just guessed calculations done mostly at run time (add up how much do gpu compressed textures should take for a model, mesh+blendshape memory estimates, other data structures). And obv for audio and animations just ensuring what’s not needed is never in memory and just knowing how much the biggest ones cost. To come up with an estimate of an upper bound and obv wit…
