Powered WebGPU analytics

Browzarr can run computations directly on the GPU using the WebGPU API. This enables on-the-fly analysis of the plotted data without a server.

Enabling WebGPU

Open the analytics panel from the main menu (math operations icon). If your browser supports WebGPU, computations are dispatched to the GPU automatically; otherwise the feature is unavailable.

WebGPU is currently available in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome/Edge) and is rolling out elsewhere. See Browser support.

Built-in operations

Common operations can be applied to the selected variable — the result is rendered back through the standard colorbar pipeline.

Custom shaders

For full control, the built-in shader editor lets you write custom WGSL compute/fragment code:

  • Templates are provided as a starting point
  • A kernel visualizer helps you reason about the neighborhood your kernel operates on
  • Edited shaders can be applied live to the current plot

Result

Applied operations can be toggled on and off, so you can compare the raw variable with the computed one.
