Guest: Gregg Tavares, author of WebGL/WebGPU Fundamentals. Topics: Low-level technologies pushing the web into video games & machine learning, web development with WebGL and WebGPU, comparison and use cases of HTML rendering engines and WebGL/WebGPU, user consent for heavy compute on devices, getting started with WebGL and WebGPU, appreciation for Greg's work on gpufundamentals.org, podcasts as a medium for technology discussion.

Gregg Tavares, author of WebGL/WebGPU Fundamentals, joins Jerod & Amal to discuss low-level technologies like WebGL and WebGPU that are propelling the web into the realm of video games and machine learning. They explore the differences between higher level libraries and low-level programming, the computational power of WebGPU, user consent for heavy compute tasks, and the tools available for game developers to bring their games to the web. They also highlight the gpufundamentals.org website and emphasize the value of podcasting in introducing new ideas, like web GPU.
