Now that the wire does enough tracking to prevent a malicious client from freeing a device before its child objects, and the device is no longer a "special" object with regard to reference/release, it is safe to support multiple devices on the wire. The simplest way to use this in WebGPU (to fix createReadyRenderPipeline validation) is to add a reserve/inject device API similar to the one we use for swapchain textures.

Dawn, a WebGPU implementation
Dawn is an open-source and cross-platform implementation of the work-in-progress WebGPU standard.
More precisely it implements 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.hversion that Dawn implements. - A C++ wrapper for the
webgpu.h.
- The
- 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
