| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Name of kernel function as defined in the compute shader source file. |
int The Kernel index. If the kernel is not found, Unity logs a "FindKernel failed" error message and raises an ArgumentException.
Find ComputeShader kernel index.
A single compute shader can contain many "kernels" (functions that do the computation);
FindKernel returns kernel index given the name.
