WSL with gpu accelerator and webgpu

Origin link 2023-11-24

GPU accelerator on WSL need WDDM 2.9 (link ). Windows 10 support WDDM from 20H2 (link) but Intel driver only support WDDM > 2.9 from Windows 11 (link). You could use "dxdiag" to check WDDM version on your windows.

My laptop is Intel GPU + Windows 10. Intel driver doesn't support WDDM v2.9 or later on Windows 10 but it is OK on Windows 11. It means WSL couldn't support GPU accelerator on Windows 10.

If you want to use webgpu under wsl2, use following chrome command since webgpu on chrome only support vulkan now according to Chrome ships WebGPU. 

• "--enable-unsafe-webgpu --enable-features=Vulkan --use-vulkan=swiftshader" 
• "This initial release of WebGPU is available in Chrome 113 on ChromeOS devices with Vulkan support, Windows devices with Direct3D 12 support, and macOS. Linux, Android, and expanded support for existing platforms will come soon."
