Summary

Functionality added to the WebGPU spec after its first shipment in a
browser. Adds a synchronous GPUAdapter info attribute to retrieve the same
information about the physical adapter as with the asynchronous GPUAdapter
requestAdapterInfo() method. A separate Intent will be sent to deprecate
and remove the asynchronous GPUAdapter requestAdapterInfo() method.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

The GPUAdapter info attribute has not yet been implemented in any browser.
It has been approved by the GPU for the Web Community Group, with
representatives from Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. See minutes at

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Debuggability

None


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?No

All platforms will eventually have support. Will immediately be available
on Android, Android WebView, ChromeOS, Mac, and Windows, since those
platforms already support WebGPU. Linux is planned to have WebGPU support
in the future, so this feature will become available when WebGPU does.


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?Yes

See https://github.com/gpuweb/cts/pull/3679 WebGPU/WGSL have a conformance
test suite (https://github.com/gpuweb/cts) that is regularly pulled into
Chromium and part of the testing of Dawn/Tint in Chromium.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
