Description

Hello,

I am exploring wasm and in particular I am also interested in it being able to use the host GPU. I know that in Chromium browser that wasm can utilize WebGPU and WebGL which is very powerful for browser based LLMs and similar AI research. Also even Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is supposed to be able to utilize virtual GPU capabilities across the instances.

Can Hyperlight and/or Hyperlight-wasm take advantage of GPU as well as this would be extremely useful for my purposes?

Thanks and have a great day
