            When a bitmap is destroyed in the application code, its GPU storage is not destroyed immediately. This is due to the fact that destroying a
            texture representing the bitmap content in the GPU memory needs to be done in a thread that has access to the GPU, which is one of the
            threads in the thread pool. The textures of destroyed bitmaps are marked as unused anymore and put into a "GPU trash bin". The latter is
            emptied by calling this function.
            In applications doing repeated allocations and deallocations of images (e.g., processing video frames in a loop), it is recommended to empty
            the GPU recycle bin periodically in the described way in order to prevent running out of memory.

            Beatmup offers a number of tools allowing to pipeline several tasks into a single one. This technique is particularly useful for designing
            complex multi-stage image processing pipelines.
 
            Multitask is the simplest such tool. It allows to concatenate different tasks into a linear conveyor and run them all or selectively.
            To handle this selection, each task is associated with a repetition policy specifying the conditions whether this given task is executed
            or ignored when the pipeline is running.
 
            Specifically, there are two extreme modes that force the task execution every time (REPEAT_ALWAYS) or its unconditional skipping
            (IGNORE_ALWAYS) and two more sophisticated modes with the following behavior:
 
             - IGNORE_IF_UPTODATE skips the task if no tasks were executed among the ones coming before the current task in the pipeline;
             - REPEAT_UPDATE forces task repetition one time on next run and just after switches the repetition policy to IGNORE_IF_UPTODATE.

            2D convolution operation computed on GPU.
            Has 2 inputs: main and residual (detailed below), and a single output.
            Constraints:
 
                * Input and output are 3D tensors with values in [0, 1] range sampled over 8 bits.
                * Number of input feature maps is 3 or a multiple of 4.
                * Number of output feature maps is a multiple of 4.
                * For group convolutions, each group contains a multiple of 4 input channels and a multiple of 4 output
                  channels, or exactly 1 input and 1 output channel (i.e., depthwise).
                * Kernels are of square shape.
                * Strides are equal along X and Y.
                * Dilations are equal to 1.
                * If an image is given on input (3 input feature maps), only valid padding is supported.
                * An activation function is always applied on output.
 
            Raspberry Pi-related constraints:
 
                * Pi cannot sample more than 256 channels to compute a single output value. Actual practical limit is
                  yet lower: something about 128 channels for pointwise convolutions and less than 100 channels for
                  bigger kernels. When the limit is reached, Pi OpenGL driver reports an out of memory error (0x505).
 
            Features:
 
                * Bias addition integrated.
                * An optional residual input is available: a tensor of output shape added to the convolution result
                  before applying the activation function.
