-//!   (eg. a graphics card, a software implementation, etc.). Physical devices can be enumerated
-//!   from an instance with `PhysicalDevice::enumerate()`.

-//! - Once you have chosen a physical device to use, you can create a `Device` object from it. The
-//!   `Device` is the most important object of Vulkan, as it represents an open channel of
-//!   communicaton with a physical device. You always need to have one before you can do something
-//!   interesting things with Vulkan.

-//! - `Buffer`s and `Image`s can be used to store data on memory accessible by the GPU (or
-//!   more generally by the Vulkan implementation). Buffers are usually used to store information
-//!   about vertices, lights, etc. or arbitrary data, while images are used to store textures or
-//!   multi-dimensional data.

-//! - In order to show something on the screen, you need a `Swapchain`. A `Swapchain` contains
-//!   special `Image`s that correspond to the content of the window or the monitor. When you
-//!   *present* a swapchain, the content of one of these special images is shown on the screen.

-//! - In order to ask the GPU to do something, you must create a `CommandBuffer`. A `CommandBuffer`
-//!   contains a list of commands that the GPU must perform. This can include copies between
-//!   buffers, compute operations, or graphics operations. For the work to start, the
-//!   `CommandBuffer` must then be submitted to a `Queue`, which is obtained when you create
-//!   the `Device`.

 //! - In order to be able to add a compute operation or a graphics operation to a command buffer,
-//!   you need to have created a `ComputePipeline` or a `GraphicsPipeline` object that describes
-//!   the operation you want. `Shader`s are programs that the GPU will execute as part of a
-//!   pipeline. Descriptors can be used to access the content of buffers or images from within
-//!   shaders.

-//! - Once you have built a `CommandBuffer` that contains a list of commands, submitting it to the
-//!   GPU will return an object that implements the `GpuFuture` trait. `GpuFuture`s allow you to
-//!   chain multiple submissions together and are essential to performing multiple operations on
-//!   multiple different GPU queues. See [the `sync` module](sync/index.html) for more info.
