Right now, the WebGPU backend has a global webgpu_context struct with all the information required to instantiate and run a WebGPU graph.

We want to split up the webgpu_context struct as follows:

  • Move get_tensor_sharing_buf to global state, along with the mutex
  • Move WebGPU handles like wgpu::Device, wgpu::Adapter, and wgpu::Instance to global state in the registration api
  • Move WebGPU device capabilities to global state
  • Make webgpu_context a per-thread struct, with pipelines and buffers as needed to run a graph (i.e. error buffers, timing buffers, debug buffers)

    ggml webgpu: fix xielu parameter passing (#11)

    The XIELU operation was incorrectly using static_cast to convert
    float parameters to uint32_t, which converted numeric values instead
    of preserving IEEE 754 bit patterns. This caused incorrect values
    to be interpreted by the GPU shader.

    * Use reinterpret_cast to preserve float bit patterns when passing
      through uint32_t params buffer
    * Update WGSL shader parameter types from u32 to f32
    * Re-enable XIELU support (was disabled due to numerical issues)

    Fixes NMSE test failures for XIELU operation on WebGPU backend.
