WebGL2 Compute shader support?

[evdem]

Experimental WebGL2 Compute shaders are supported in Chrome Canary. See e.g. my pages https://www.ibiblio.org/e-notes/webgl/gpu/contents.htm. Is it possible to add WebGL2-compute into WebDNN?

Sounds interesting.
It may be relatively low cost to support it, but implementation of WebGPU on Chrome is also ongoing, so we don't have plan to support webgl2 compute shaders.

I think WebGPU will be "just" WebGL2-compute successor in a few years (they will extend ANGLE, D3D12 support and so on...). As compute shaders and (Apple) WebGPU are similar couldn't you help (guide/point) how to add them into WebDNN. I'll try to ask GPU.JS about compute shaders but ML is more meaningful than just matrix multiplication.
By the way are HALF_FLOAT data supported in WebDNN? Simple test at https://www.ibiblio.org/e-notes/webgl/gpu/tex2_16.htm
