Compute Shader using OpenGL Wrapper (bgl) and Python OpenGL Wrapper

I get managed to add a compute shader to the custom material shader. It using OpenGL Wrapper (bgl) and Python OpenGL Wrapper for the functions that are missing in bgl. What can be done with compute shader? Basically you can calculate everything in a compute shader, but a compute shader can’t directly render the image to the screen. Where compute shader can be faster the the CPU and could be used? Basically for all N-Body calculations, like: Physics Particles AI Simulation Ray Tracing (sti…

Perhaps this explains it better if it is the same as in Unity:
Compute Shaders are programs that run on the graphics card, outside of the normal rendering pipeline. They can be used for massively parallel GPGPU algorithms, or to accelerate parts of game rendering.

I have no clue about programming however so who know.
