+ * There are very seldom cases where you need this explict control over threads and blocks. Very often handling thread
+ * indices by hand will result in performance issues at least on CPU devices.
+ *
+ * This example will show how you can iterate with frames, which can be seen as data index chunks without explicit
+ * calculate thread indices by hand. The code is is easy to write and read and will mostly be faster on CPU and GPU
