INSIDE THE BOOK
About this book
WebGL Compute explores how to repurpose WebGL’s graphics‑focused pipeline for high‑performance computation. By leveraging GLSL ES shaders, readers learn how to run massively parallel workloads directly on the GPU using nothing more than a web browser. The book walks through practical techniques, minimal examples, and creative strategies for performing non‑graphical tasks such as simulation, data processing, and algorithm acceleration. Ideal for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts who want to push WebGL beyond rendering and tap into the hidden compute power available on virtually every device.
