The GpuBuffer class in the Sandbox namespace is a GPU data buffer designed for use with a ComputeShader. It allows for reading and writing arbitrary data between the CPU and GPU, facilitating efficient parallel data processing on the GPU. The buffer type can vary based on the specified UsageFlags, with the default being Structured, which maps to StructuredBuffer<T> and RWStructuredBuffer<T> in HLSL.
