Detailed Description
       MPSImage.h  MPSCore.framework

       Copyright:
	   Copyright (c) 2015-2017 Apple Inc. All rights reserved.  A MPSImage is a MTLTexture abstraction that allows for more than 4 channels,
	   and for temporary images.

       This depends on Metal.framework	A MPSImageDescriptor object describes a attributes of MPSImage and is used to create one (see MPSImage
       discussion below)

Method Documentation
   + (__nonnull instancetype) imageDescriptorWithChannelFormat: (MPSImageFeatureChannelFormat) channelFormat(NSUInteger) width(NSUInteger)
       height(NSUInteger) featureChannels
       Create a MPSImageDescriptor for a single read/write cnn image.

   + (__nonnull instancetype) imageDescriptorWithChannelFormat: (MPSImageFeatureChannelFormat) channelFormat(NSUInteger) width(NSUInteger)
       height(NSUInteger) featureChannels(NSUInteger) numberOfImages(MTLTextureUsage) usage
       Create a MPSImageDescriptor for a read/write cnn image with option to set usage and batch size (numberOfImages).

Property Documentation
   - channelFormat [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The storage format to use for each channel in the image.

   - cpuCacheMode [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       Options to specify CPU cache mode of texture resource. Default = MTLCPUCacheModeDefaultCache

   - featureChannels [read],  [write],	[nonatomic],  [assign]
       The number of feature channels per pixel. Default = 1.

   - height [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The height of the CNN image.  The formal height of the CNN image in pixels. Default = 1.

   - numberOfImages [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The number of images for batch processing. Default = 1.

   - pixelFormat [read],  [nonatomic],	[assign]
       The MTLPixelFormat expected for the underlying texture.

   - storageMode [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       To specify storage mode of texture resource.  Storage mode options:

       Default =   MTLStorageModeShared on iOS
		   MTLStorageModeManaged on Mac OSX
       MTLStorageModeShared not supported on Mac OSX.
       See Metal headers for synchronization requirements when using StorageModeManaged

   - usage [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       Description of texture usage. Default = MTLTextureUsageShaderRead/Write

   - width [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The width of the CNN image.  The formal width of the CNN image in pixels. Default = 1.
