Webgpu support (#1077)

* initial commit * 81 passing * 105 passing tests * 148 passing * CI tests * install dep on ci * try opencl pkgs * try using vulkan * down to only 6 failing * refactor * cleaning up * another test skipped due to buffer limit * linter * segfault * indent fix * another segfault found * small touchups * Fix max and maxpool tests * Add constant folding * Add javascript export script * better asserts in codegen * manual upcasting * reverted token type change * skip safetensor test due to unsupported type * FIx efficientnet and all other model tests * Remove np copy * fixed indent and missing import * manually destroy the buffer * revert back to length * linter errors * removed extra val * skip broken tests * skipping more tests * Make the page pretty * Save model weights as safetensor * Fix imagenet to c test * Fix second imagenet to c bug * Async and paralel kernel compilation * workgroup support * reversed local size * fixed non local bug * correct local groups * ci experiment * removed typo * Fix define local by using shared memory * Refactor * try running on mac * match metal tests * add more workers * scope down tests * trying windows runner * fixed windows env * see how many it can do * merged master * refactor * missed refactor * increase test suite coverage * missing import * whitespace in test_efficientnet.py * getting there * fixed reset * fixed bufs * switched to cstyle * cleanup * min/max rename * one more linter issue * fixed demo * linter * testing ci chrome * add unsafe webgpu arg * add build step * remove WEBGPU from cmd line * use module * try forcing directx * trying forced metal backend * temp disable conv2d for CI * disable conv_trasnpose2d --------- Co-authored-by: 0x4d - Martin Loretz <20306567+martinloretzzz@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: George Hotz <72895+geohot@users.noreply.github.com>
