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: set

A set of feature names supported by the adapter.

property info: GPUAdapterInfo

Information associated with this adapter.

property limits: dict

A dict with limits for the adapter.

request_device(*args, **kwargs)

Backwards compatible method for request_device_sync()

request_device_async(**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.

request_device_sync(**parameters)

Sync version of request_device_async().

Provided by wgpu-py, but not compatible with WebGPU.

property summary: str

A one-line summary of the info of this adapter (device, adapter_type, backend_type).
