torch_deviceR Documentation

Create a Device object

Description

A torch_device is an object representing the device on which a torch_tensor is or will be allocated.

Usage

torch_device(type, index = NULL)

Arguments

type

(character) a device type "cuda" or "cpu"

index

(integer) optional device ordinal for the device type. If the device ordinal is not present, this object will always represent the current device for the device type, even after torch_cuda_set_device() is called; e.g., a torch_tensor constructed with device 'cuda' is equivalent to 'cuda:X' where X is the result of torch_cuda_current_device().

A torch_device can be constructed via a string or via a string and device ordinal

Examples

if (torch_is_installed()) {

# Via string
torch_device("cuda:1")
torch_device("cpu")
torch_device("cuda") # current cuda device

# Via string and device ordinal
torch_device("cuda", 0)
torch_device("cpu", 0)
}
