oximedia-accel 0.1.2

Hardware acceleration layer for OxiMedia using Vulkan compute
Documentation
//! Descriptor set pooling for Vulkan compute pipelines.
//!
//! Maintains a free-list of reusable [`DescriptorSet`] allocations to reduce
//! per-frame allocation overhead.  When the pool is exhausted it falls back to
//! fresh allocation.
//!
//! # Design
//!
//! * One `DescriptorSetPool` is typically created per compute pipeline.
//! * Callers call [`DescriptorSetPool::acquire`] to obtain a set and
//!   [`DescriptorSetPool::release`] to return it when GPU work is done.
//! * The pool automatically expands up to `max_sets` live descriptors; beyond
//!   that it allocates ephemeral sets that are not pooled.
