//! Compute backend modules and the `Backend` trait.
//!
//! Five backends: `cpu` (rayon-parallel, always available), `cuda` (cuBLAS +
//! custom PTX kernels via cudarc), `vulkan` (ash + gpu-allocator, SPIR-V
//! compute), `metal` (Apple Metal via objc, compute pipelines), `wgpu_backend`
//! (wgpu for browser/cross-platform WebGPU). Also `cuda_kernels` (PTX module
//! registry), `cuda_pool` (memory pool), `cudnn_ops` (cuDNN conv2d),
//! `gpu_tests` (correctness infra). `GpuMemory`, `GpuStream`, `BackendType`,
//! `best_available_backend()`, and `gpu_count()` provide device-agnostic
//! dispatch at the top level.
