DType

Represents DType and provides methods for working with it.

Aliases​

  • type = dtype:
  • invalid: Represents an invalid or unknown data type.
  • bool: Represents a boolean data type.
  • int8: Represents a signed integer type whose bitwidth is 8.
  • uint8: Represents an unsigned integer type whose bitwidth is 8.
  • int16: Represents a signed integer type whose bitwidth is 16.
  • uint16: Represents an unsigned integer type whose bitwidth is 16.
  • int32: Represents a signed integer type whose bitwidth is 32.
  • uint32: Represents an unsigned integer type whose bitwidth is 32.
  • int64: Represents a signed integer type whose bitwidth is 64.
  • uint64: Represents an unsigned integer type whose bitwidth is 64.
  • float8e5m2: Represents a FP8E5M2 floating point format whose bitwidth is 8.
  • float8e4m3: Represents a FP8E4M3 floating point format whose bitwidth is 8.
  • bfloat16: Represents a brain floating point value whose bitwidth is 16.
  • float16: Represents an IEEE754-2008 binary16 floating point value.
  • float32: Represents an IEEE754-2008 binary32 floating point value.
  • tensor_float32: Represents a special floating point format supported by NVIDIA Tensor Cores, with the same range as float32 and reduced precision (>=10 bits). Note that this type is only available on NVIDIA GPUs.
  • float64: Represents an IEEE754-2008 binary64 floating point value.
  • index: Represents an integral type whose bitwidth is the maximum integral value on the system.

Fields​
