The cohomology functor $HH^i (X,-)$ from the category of sheaves of abelian groups to the category of abelian groups is the right derived functor of the global sections functor.
As a simple example, we compute the dimensions of the cohomology groups for some line bundles on the projective plane.

i2 : HH^0 (PP2, OO_PP2(1)) 3 o2 = QQ o2 : QQ-module, free |

For a second example, we compute the dimensions of the cohomology groups for some line bundles on a Hirzebruch surface.

When F is free, the algorithm based on [Diane Maclagan and Gregory G. Smith, Multigraded Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, J. Reine Angew. Math. 571 (2004), 179-212]. The general case uses the methods described in [David Eisenbud, Mircea Mustata, and Mike Stillman, Cohomology on toric varieties and local cohomology with monomial supports, J. Symbolic Comput. 29 (2000), 583-600].
