Embedding graph does not render in VMs with no GPU

[ramkumarkb]

Hi,

I am working in a Citrix virtualized machine that does not have a GPU.

I can see in the browser console an error - Could not request WebGPU adapter YT @ ...

Does this mean that the fallback rendering menthod is not working (as it says WebGL 2 fallback)?

If so, it might be a good idea to list Min Requirements (as part of documentation) - e.g. Linux/macOS with GPU only

[ramkumarkb]

As a follow up - in my case - chrome://gpu/ - said both WebGPU and WebGL2 are disabled.

Then I had to enable the following flags in - chrome://flags -

• Override software rendering list
• Unsafe WebGPU Support

And then it works!

So may be some additonal documentation to check the above and stating the above min requirements would be helpful.

Thank you again!

https://github.com/apple/embedding-atlas makes it clear that you need webgpu for webgl2. Maybe an explicit error in the app could be helpful when neither is found. Could you send a pull request?

It doesn't help me. In console I see

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to execute 'requestDevice' on 'GPUAdapter': Unsupported feature: shader-f16
