Import: import system.gpu;

This reference lists the public declarations for this part of the library. See Reading API signatures for parameter and result notation. Shader-only declarations can be used only inside @compute, @vertex, @fragment, inferred helpers and ray tracing shader functions; using them elsewhere is a compile error.

GpuTarget

A shader compilation target named in @gpu_targets. Each target produces one kind of GPU code, and the matching GpuBackend runs it.

public enum GpuTarget

Dx12

DXIL for Direct3D 12, on Windows.

Dx12 = 1

Dx11

DXBC for Direct3D 11, on Windows. Building it needs a Windows build machine.

Dx11 = 2

Vulkan

SPIR-V for Vulkan, on Windows and Linux.

Vulkan = 3

Metal

A Metal library, on macOS.

Metal = 4

Cuda

PTX for CUDA, on Windows and Linux. Compute shaders only.

Cuda = 5

WebGpu

WGSL for WebGPU, in browsers, Node and native programs. The default target.

WebGpu = 6
