1//! Multi-GPU context management with per-device context pools.
2//!
3//! When working with multiple GPUs, it is common to maintain one CUDA
4//! context per device and dispatch work across them. [`DevicePool`]
5//! automates context lifecycle management and provides scheduling
6//! helpers (round-robin, best-available) for multi-GPU workloads.
7//!
8//! # Thread safety
9//!
10//! [`DevicePool`] is `Send + Sync`. Each context is wrapped in an
11//! [`Arc<Context>`] so it can be shared across threads. The caller is
12//! responsible for calling [`Context::set_current`] on the appropriate
13//! thread before issuing driver calls.
14//!
15//! # Example
16//!
17//! ```rust,no_run
18//! use oxicuda_driver::multi_gpu::DevicePool;
19//!
20//! oxicuda_driver::init()?;
21//! let pool = DevicePool::new()?;
22//! println!("managing {} devices", pool.device_count());
23//!
24//! for (dev, ctx) in pool.iter() {
25//! ctx.set_current()?;
26//! println!("device {}: {}", dev.ordinal(), dev.name()?);
27//! }
28//! # Ok::<(), oxicuda_driver::error::CudaError>(())
29//! ```
