Crate gpu_descriptor 

Library for Vulkan-like APIs to allocated descriptor sets from descriptor pools fast, with least overhead and zero fragmentation.

Straightforward usage:

use gpu_descriptor::DescriptorAllocator;

let mut allocator = DescriptorAllocator::new(max_update_after_bind_descriptors_in_all_pools); // Limit as dictated by API for selected hardware

let result = allocator.allocate(
    device, // Implementation of `gpu_descriptor::DescriptorDevice`. Comes from plugins.
    layout, // Descriptor set layout recognized by device's type.
    flags,  // Flags specified when layout was created.
    layout_descriptor_count, // Descriptors count in the layout.
    count, // count of sets to allocated.
);
