Overview
Unlike traditional shaders that process graphics data, compute shaders perform arbitrary computations on the GPU.
Capabilities
They can handle physics simulations, AI processing, image analysis, and scientific calculations.
Advantages
Because GPUs excel at parallel processing, compute shaders can perform massive calculations extremely quickly.
Professional Use
Many modern creative tools use compute shaders for real-time effects.
