Description

Compute Shader asset.

Compute shaders are programs that run on the GPU outside of the normal rendering pipeline. They correspond to compute shader assets in the project (.compute files).

Compute shader support can be queried runtime using SystemInfo.supportsComputeShaders. See Compute Shaders overview for more info about platforms supporting compute shaders.

See Also: ComputeBuffer class, Compute Shaders overview.
