Test your browser WebGL with glMatrix.

The glMatrix is designed to perform vector and matrix operations stupidly fast! By hand-tuning each function for maximum performance and encouraging efficient usage patterns through API conventions, glMatrix will help you get the most out of your browsers Javascript engine.

The glMatrix has moved to GitHub.

Test with the new benchmark.

You can test your browser using old google

I have one old video card NVIDIA FX 5500 and this is the output.

 This page benchmarks the performance of several matrix libraries intended for use with WebGL: glMatrix, mjs, CanvasMatrix, and EWGL_math
Benchmark times are averaged over 10 runs of 20,000 iterations of the target operation.
