This target is built when no specific target is specified on the command line. It avoids building all available targets. Specifically, the optional use of LLVM as a JIT-compiler by SwiftShader was dominating compile times. See the GN reference for details: https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/master/docs/reference.md#the-all-and-default-rules For now, it's equivalent to the "all" target. Note the latter is an explicit target, not the implicit one mentioned in the reference.

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
