Hi,
Hi,
I am developing agains WebGPU / WGSL.
And overview of WebGPU / WGSL is found here:
https://github.com/webgpu/webgpufundamentals
There is no imageAtomicAdd in WGSL.
imageAtomicAdd is from WebGL / GLSL.
These are two different things:
WebGPU / WGSL : Wrapper for Vulcan, Direct 12, or Metal
WebGL / GLSL : Wrapper for OpenGL
