Compute Shader

A compute shader is a specialized program that runs on a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform complex calculations and data processing tasks efficiently. Unlike traditional shaders that handle rendering graphics, compute shaders are designed for general-purpose computation, such as physics simulations, image processing, or AI tasks. They operate in parallel, processing large amounts of data simultaneously, which speeds up tasks that require heavy calculations. Essentially, compute shaders leverage the GPU's high parallel processing power to handle non-graphics computations quickly and effectively.
