Browsers don't support WebCL yet and their asm.js is single-threaded. And their auto-vectorization abilities also might be questionable. I don't see how it could possibly compete with things NNs running on a GPU.

"Fast" might simply refer to efficient algorithms implemented in C?

Browsers will probably never support WebCL.

Why do you think so?

The WebCL spec has been finished for well over a year now, and was fairly stable for a while before that, yet no browsers have implemented it. Mozilla has publicly stated they aren't interested and are going with WebGL 2.0 instead.
