Supported Plattforms

Cross-Platform Support

Currently the following graphics APIs are supported:

  • Windows (Vulkan and DirectX)
  • macOS (Metal)
  • Linux (Vulkan)
  • Web (WebGPU)

Web Plattform restrictions:

WebGL is currrently not supported due to significant performance reductions. Make sure that you use the latest version of your web browser and check its WebGPU support, if you want to use the web based version of VDS. The latest versions of Chromium based browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Chromium itself should work.

Direct file system access is currently not possible with WebAssembly (WASM). Therefore files can only be opened via drag and drop or by downloading them from a URL and not all file types are supported. Files can only be exported as a download.

Gerneral Perfomance is better on native versions of VDS that run directly on the operating system and not inside a web browser. Main reason are missing SIMD like f16c on x86 or fp16 on arm64 which are not available in WASM.
