//! Host side of the GPU NEBULA path: staging, launch and read-back.
//!
//! The device fits a batch of *requests*: one penalised fit of one gene at one
//! pair of variance components. A gene can carry several requests in a launch,
//! so a one-component search's polish stencil goes out as one batch.
//!
//! ### Layout
//!
//! Per-gene data is uploaded once and stays resident: the positive counts of
//! every gene concatenated, the start of each subject's run within each gene
//! (so a lane finds its first count by binary search), and the per-subject
//! count totals gene-minor. The shared design, offsets and subject boundaries
//! keep their natural order, as every thread walks them identically.
//!
//! Everything per request is **request-minor**: entry `i` of request `q` lives
//! at `i * n_req + q`, so consecutive threads touch consecutive addresses.
//!
//! ### Precision
//!
//! The device is `f32`. Host-derived values, in particular the gamma prior's
//! `alpha` and `lambda`, are computed in `f64` and cast once, as
//! `alpha = 1 / (e^s - 1)` cancels badly for the small `s` most genes have.
