🚀 Native GPU for Node.js

#javascript #programming #node #python

Hey dev community! 👋

I've been working on something that might fundamentally change how we think about JavaScript and AI development. Today I'm excited to share nodejs-native-gpu - the first native GPU-accelerated computing addon for Node.js.

Key Features:

⚡ Native GPU performance - Direct Vulkan, DirectX, Metal, OpenGL, WebGL
🧠 Complete ML pipeline - Train, save, load, predict entirely in Node.js
🎯 TensorFlow.js-compatible API - Drop-in replacement potential
🔥 4% faster than Python on same hardware (preliminary tests)
🌍 Cross-platform - Works on Windows, Linux, macOS

Why This Matters 🤔

For the first time in Node.js history:

No more Python dependencies for GPU-accelerated AI
Unified JavaScript stack - Frontend + Backend + AI in one language
Democratized GPU computing - Works on mainstream GPUs (tested on GTX 1050 Ti)

Current Status 📊

✅ Working neural network training with backpropagation
✅ GPU memory management and async operations
✅ Model persistence (save/load)
✅ Multi-platform GPU backend support
🚧 Documentation and examples coming soon

Check It Out! ⭐

The project is live on GitHub: https://github.com/toviszsolt/nodejs-native-gpu

Star the repo if you're excited about native GPU computing in Node.js! Your support means everything to an indie developer pushing the boundaries of what's possible with JavaScript.
