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 shaders need a fairly modern GPU (with shader model 5.0 support) and are at the moment available on DirectX 11, PS4, XboxOne and OpenGL ES 3.1.
