How do i retrieve data asynchronously from a compute shader?

I want to retrieve a sizeable amount of data from the compute shader in C#, is it possible to do this Async or even in a different thread so i don't lock up my application in the process?

 

You can use C# async Tasks that will trigger a delegate when the async GPU readback is done.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rendering.AsyncGPUReadbackRequest.html

Or if you don't want to deal with async on C# you can just periodically check from main thread when the request is done and grab the data. But a task would be cleaner.

 

Thanks !
