autk-compute

autk-compute runs custom computations across all features in a GeoJSON FeatureCollection in parallel on the GPU, using WebGPU and WGSL shaders. Results are written back as new feature properties.

Installation

npm install autk-compute

When to Use autk-compute vs SQL

Scenario	Use
Simple aggregations, counts, filters	autk-db raw SQL
Per-feature arithmetic on a few columns	autk-db raw SQL
Heavy per-feature computation (scoring, distance calculations, ML inference) across thousands of features	autk-compute
Custom formulas that are hard to express in SQL	autk-compute

autk-compute processes all features simultaneously on the GPU. For datasets with tens of thousands of features and complex per-feature logic, this is significantly faster than SQL.

Entry Point

import { geojsonCompute } from 'autk-compute';

geojsonCompute is a singleton instance of GeojsonCompute. You don't need to instantiate it.

What's Next

• Computing into Properties — write a WGSL function and apply it across all features
• Patterns — common pipelines combining autk-compute with autk-db and autk-map
