Use the Compute Render Pass to dispatch compute shader work using a material that references a compute shader program. After the dispatch, a Compute Render Pass passes the control to its descendants and then further to its siblings and parent.

The Compute Render Pass reads shader resources (textures, buffers, uniforms) from the Material that you set with the MaterialProperty. Set the invoke counts using the InvokeCountXProperty, InvokeCountYProperty, and InvokeCountZProperty properties.

For indirect dispatch, set a GPU buffer with the IndirectDispatchBufferProperty.
