🚀 Introducing Multi-Chart Dashboarding — ChartGPU v0.2.7

We're excited to announce multi-chart dashboarding in ChartGPU v0.2.7 — a major step forward for building real-time, GPU-accelerated monitoring dashboards entirely on the web.

What's New

With this release, you can now render coordinated, multi-chart streaming dashboards that share WebGPU resources for maximum throughput and efficiency. Think APM dashboards, live infrastructure monitoring, trading panels — all powered by the GPU, right in the browser.

Key capabilities include:

• dataAppend event & appendData() — Real-time data tracking with cross-chart coordination and streaming sync utilities
• External render mode (renderMode: 'external') — Host apps own the render loop with renderFrame(), needsRender(), and setRenderMode() to synchronize multiple charts in a single frame
• Shared pipeline cache (createPipelineCache(device)) — Deduplicate GPUShaderModule, GPURenderPipeline, and GPUComputePipeline across charts on the same GPUDevice, reducing shader compilation overhead
• Application-controlled render loops — Shared pipeline caching and a new streaming multi-chart APM-style example for real-world dashboards

Why It Matters

Multi-chart dashboards are one of the most common real-world use cases for charting libraries. Until now, coordinating multiple GPU-accelerated charts required manual orchestration. With v0.2.7, ChartGPU handles resource sharing, render synchronization, and pipeline deduplication out of the box — so you can focus on your data.

Get Started

npm install @chartgpu/chartgpu@0.2.7
