Abstract

WebGPU is a new graphics API, which now provides compute shaders for general purpose GPU operations in web browsers. We demonstrate the potential of this new technology for scalable information visualization by showing how to filter and aggregate a spatio-temporal dataset with millions of temperature measurements for real-time interactive exploration of climate change.
