Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
OpenGL rendering is increasingly replaced by the Vulkan API. Interoperability between Cuda and Vulkan is cumbersome and requires native programming as in these Cuda samples:

  1. https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-samples/tree/master/Samples/5_Domain_Specific/simpleVulkan
  2. https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-samples/tree/master/Samples/5_Domain_Specific/vulkanImageCUDA
  3. https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-samples/tree/master/Samples/5_Domain_Specific/simpleVulkanMMAP

Describe the solution you'd like
A python interface to interface pytorch with vulkan rendering through CUDA, similar to the OpenGL renderer of pytorch3d.
