webgpu-devtools
A browser extension for debugging WebGPU applications by monitoring WebGPU usage, objects, and commands.
What is webgpu-devtools?
WebGPU DevTools is a browser extension that helps developers debug WebGPU applications by monitoring WebGPU usage, tracking objects, and capturing commands. It provides a dedicated panel in the browser's developer tools to visualize buffers, textures, shaders, and command errors, making it easier to identify issues in WebGPU-based graphics applications.
Web developers and graphics programmers building applications with the WebGPU API, especially those needing debugging tools for performance optimization, error detection, and resource inspection.
It offers a specialized debugging environment for WebGPU, filling a gap in browser developer tools by providing real-time insights into GPU resources and commands, which is not available in standard devtools.
Overview
WebGPU DevTools is a browser extension that helps developers debug WebGPU applications by providing insights into WebGPU usage, objects, and commands. It integrates directly into the browser's developer tools, offering real-time monitoring and visualization of WebGPU resources.
Key Features
- Object Tracking — Tracks and displays WebGPU objects like buffers, textures, and framebuffers.
- Command Capture — Captures and shows WebGPU commands executed by the application.
- Error Highlighting — Highlights errors in WebGPU commands for easier debugging.
- Shader Inspection — Displays WGSL shader code used in the application.
- Content Visualization — Shows the contents of buffers, textures, and framebuffers.
- Call Stacktrace — Provides call stack traces for WebGPU commands.
Philosophy
WebGPU DevTools aims to make debugging WebGPU applications more accessible by providing a dedicated toolset within the browser's developer environment, similar to existing web development tools.
