Hi All,

I am trying to run WebGPU on an Amazon EC2 Windows instance but I am unable to get the browser to detect WebGPU. I have nvidia drivers and chrome v124 installed on the instance but requestAdapter still fails for WebGPU. I can render WebGL2 just fine. Are there any additional flags or libraries I need to install to be able to use WebGPU on EC2?

Regards,
Wen Han

Hello Wen Han,
May I recommend https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/webgpu/colab-headless if you haven't read it yet?

Thanks François,
I am not able to follow the steps completely because they are using Linux instances while I am trying to run WebGPU on Windows Server 2022.
Nevertheless, I installed nvidia drivers and vulkan runtime for Windows but Chrome is still unable to detect the GPU.
Does Chrome on Windows Server support WebGPU out of the box?

Hi Wenhan,

Would you join https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/graphics-dev and post your question there? Several Microsoft colleagues are on that list and may be able to confirm support.
