Basic adapterInfo usage

const adapter = await navigator.gpu.requestAdapter();
if (!adapter) {
  throw Error("Couldn't request WebGPU adapter.");
}

const myDevice = await adapter.requestDevice();

function optimizeForGpuDevice(device) {
  if (device.adapterInfo.vendor === "amd") {
    // Use AMD-specific optimizations
  } else if (device.adapterInfo.architecture.includes("turing")) {
    // Optimize for NVIDIA Turing architecture
  }
}

optimizeForGpuDevice(myDevice);
