Gpgpu, ML Inference, and Vulkan Compute

Well the Android devices might ship OpenCL, but what is exposed to app developers is Renderscript.

And even with Android 12 deprecating Renderscript and pushing for Vulkan, the tooling for app developers just isn't there.

Google expects Java and Kotlin app developers to now deal with the mess of using Vulkan in the NDK by themselves, as in typical Google fashion to provide a basic set of samples, in C and C++ for developers mostly used to Java and Kotlin development workflows, and then good luck!

So don't expect much update in the Android ecosystem regarding Vulkan Compute.
