I have recently implemented a simple compute shader particle system, you can check my post:

> I managed to implement a very simple particle system using compute shader. This example renders 1 million particles on an Intel Iris 640 integrated graphics card, which is pretty amazing. Since compute shader requires OpenGL 4.x, so I am not sure if the original drawing mode will work anymore. Github repo: [ComputeShader01] [ComputeShaderColor]
