I recently researched about compute shader, so i wonder if we can use compute shader and ECS at the same time?
Like treating the GPU as another "core" of the CPU, feeding it with some data so it can help reduce the amount of works for the CPU, and at the same time the CPU can do some tasks with ECS
#Combining ECS with Compute Shader

that's partially how Entities graphics package works
grabs ecs data, dispatches compute shader for deformations

NativeArrays can be passed directly into compute buffers, so sending data to a shader is super easy actually.
Here's a very hamfisted way of doing it I used in the dots community challenge: https://github.com/ITR13/DotsCommunityChallenge-2024/blob/main/Assets/Systems/UpdateRenderSystem.cs
