Description

A GIF or MEME to give some spice of the internet

What is wrong?

We need this in GPU.js, possibly as a sub-project: https://github.com/maierfelix/webgpu Once it becomes stable, and well supported and tested, we could possibly make it the default fallback.

Where does it happen?

How do we replicate the issue?

How important is this (1-5)?
