BrowserGPU is a JavaScript framework that 'builds' virtual GPUs like the NVIDIA H100 in your browser by modeling them as logic gates and JS objects. It's an April Fools' project for DEV, not real hardware.

Can BrowserGPU replace my NVIDIA GPU?

No — it's a logical model for demos and learning, not performant compute. Real workloads need silicon's speed and power.

Is building GPUs in JavaScript possible?

Conceptually yes, at a gate level. Practically
