| ## Summary and Links |
| |
| WebGPU exposes an API for performing operations, such as rendering and computation, |
| on a Graphics Processing Unit. [Dawn](https://dawn.googlesource.com/dawn) is the underlying |
| implementation of WebGPU in chromium. In the future, with |
| [WebGPU bindings provided by emscripten](https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/pull/10218), |
| CanvasKit should be able to use a WebGPU rendering device. |
