Accel-gpu brings NumPy-style array operations to browser GPUs without requiring WGSL or GLSL shader programming. This lightweight WebGPU wrapper automatically falls back to WebGL2 or CPU, delivering 2-3x speedups over WebGL and 20x faster performance than CPU for large matrix operations. It includes built-in kernels for convolution, pooling, FFT, and ML operations with automatic shape inference.
