# Dawn, a WebGPU implementation
Dawn is an open-source and cross-platform implementation of the work-in-progress [WebGPU](https://webgpu.dev) standard.
Fix inclusive language presubmit The current presubmit has the filter inverted so it would only attempt to match the filtered files. The file name also has to be converted to `LocalPath` otherwise it's attempting to compare a python object to a string and always fails to match.

More precisely it implements [`webgpu.h`](https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/blob/main/webgpu.h) that is a one-to-one mapping with the WebGPU IDL.

Dawn is meant to be integrated as part of a larger system and is the underlying implementation of WebGPU in Chromium.
Dawn provides several WebGPU building blocks:
- **WebGPU C/C++ headers** that applications and other building blocks use.
- The `webgpu.h` version that Dawn implements.
- A C++ wrapper for the `webgpu.h`.
- **A "native" implementation of WebGPU** using platforms' GPU APIs:
- **D3D12** on Windows 10
- **Metal** on macOS and iOS
- **Vulkan** on Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and Fuchsia
- OpenGL as best effort where available
- **A client-server implementation of WebGPU** for applications that are in a sandbox without access to native drivers
