In torch: Tensors and Neural Networks with 'GPU' Acceleration

#' Autocast context manager
#'
#' Allow regions of your code to run in mixed precision.
#' In these regions, ops run in an op-specific dtype chosen by autocast
#' to improve performance while maintaining accuracy.
#' 
#' When entering an autocast-enabled region, Tensors may be any type.
#' You should not call `half()` or `bfloat16()` on your model(s) or inputs 
#' when using autocasting.
#' 
#' `autocast` should only be enabled during the forward pass(es) of your network, 
#' including the loss computation(s).  Backward passes under autocast are not 
#' recommended. Backward ops run in the same type that autocast used for 
#' corresponding forward ops.
#' 
#' @param device_type a character string indicating whether to use 'cuda' or 'cpu' device
#' @param enabled a logical value indicating whether autocasting should be enabled in the region. Default: TRUE
#' @param dtype a torch data type indicating whether to use `torch_float16()` or `torch_bfloat16()`.
#' @param cache_enabled a logical value indicating whether the weight cache inside autocast should be enabled.
#' @param ... currently unused.
#' @param context Returned by `set_autocast` and should be passed when unsetting it.
#' @inheritParams with_no_grad
