GPUAdapter

class wgpu.GPUAdapter

Bases: object

Represents an abstract wgpu implementation.

An adapter represents both an instance of a hardware accelerator (e.g. GPU or CPU) and an implementation of WGPU on top of that accelerator.

The adapter is used to request a device object. The adapter object enumerates its capabilities (features) and limits.

If an adapter becomes unavailable, it becomes invalid. Once invalid, it never becomes valid again.

property features

request_device(**parameters)

Request a GPUDevice from the adapter.

Parameters:

• label (str) – A human readable label. Optional.

• required_features (list of str) – the features (extensions) that you need. Default [].

• required_limits (dict) – the various limits that you need. Default {}.

• default_queue (structs.QueueDescriptor) – Descriptor for the default queue. Optional.
