torch.set_default_dtype — PyTorch 1.10 documentation
pytorch.org › torchSupports torch.float32 and torch.float64 as inputs. Other dtypes may be accepted without complaint but are not supported and are unlikely to work as expected. When PyTorch is initialized its default floating point dtype is torch.float32, and the intent of set_default_dtype(torch.float64) is to facilitate NumPy-like type inference.
Tensor Attributes — PyTorch 1.10 documentation
pytorch.org › docs › stableA floating point scalar operand has dtype torch.get_default_dtype() and an integral non-boolean scalar operand has dtype torch.int64. Unlike numpy, we do not inspect values when determining the minimum dtypes of an operand. Quantized and complex types are not yet supported. Promotion Examples:
torch.Tensor.to — PyTorch 1.10 documentation
pytorch.org › docs › stabletorch.Tensor.to. Performs Tensor dtype and/or device conversion. A torch.dtype and torch.device are inferred from the arguments of self.to (*args, **kwargs). If the self Tensor already has the correct torch.dtype and torch.device, then self is returned. Otherwise, the returned tensor is a copy of self with the desired torch.dtype and torch.device.
torch.Tensor — PyTorch 1.10 documentation
pytorch.org › docs › stableFor example, torch.FloatTensor.abs_() computes the absolute value in-place and returns the modified tensor, while torch.FloatTensor.abs() computes the result in a new tensor. Note To change an existing tensor’s torch.device and/or torch.dtype , consider using to() method on the tensor.
torch.Tensor — PyTorch 1.10 documentation
https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensorstorch.ByteTensor. /. 1. Sometimes referred to as binary16: uses 1 sign, 5 exponent, and 10 significand bits. Useful when precision is important at the expense of range. 2. Sometimes referred to as Brain Floating Point: uses 1 sign, 8 exponent, and 7 significand bits. Useful when range is important, since it has the same number of exponent bits ...
