Crate kronos_compute 

Kronos - A compute-only Vulkan implementation in Rust

This crate provides a streamlined, compute-focused subset of the Vulkan API, removing all graphics functionality to achieve maximum GPU compute performance.

Important: Linking Considerations

When using Kronos with the implementation feature, do NOT link to system Vulkan. Kronos provides its own Vulkan implementation. Linking to both will cause symbol conflicts where system Vulkan functions may be called instead of Kronos functions, breaking multi-GPU support.

If you see ErrorInitializationFailed but don’t see “KRONOS vkCreateBuffer called” in logs, your application is likely using system Vulkan instead of Kronos.
