 * This special type of buffer attribute is intended for compute shaders.
 * In earlier three.js versions it was only possible to update attribute data
 * on the CPU via JavaScript and then upload the data to the GPU. With the
 * new material system and renderer it is now possible to use compute shaders
 * to compute the data for an attribute more efficiently on the GPU.
 *
 * The idea is to create an instance of this class and provide it as an input
 * to {@link StorageBufferNode}.
 *
 * Note: This type of buffer attribute can only be used with `WebGPURenderer`.
