CUDA is NVIDIA's language for GPU programming, allowing you to mix write CPU and GPU code in C++ in one file. By chaining a few projects that compile CUDA to OpenCL, then Vulkan, then WebGPU, you can experiment with this GPGPU language on any hardware.

How performant is the CUDA code in browser compared to standalone program?

Could we have PyTorch / ML training with CUDA through the browser performing ok?

WebGPU don't have access to most accelerators in GPU so it would be super slow compared to CUDNN version but pure CUDA would be only x times times faster.
