Enum DType 

pub enum DType {
    F64,
    F32,
    I64,
    I32,
    U8,
    Bool,
    Bf16,
    F16,
    Complex,
}

Element type for typed tensor storage.

Each variant determines how the raw byte buffer is interpreted. Byte widths are fixed and platform-independent (little-endian canonical).

Variants

F64

64-bit IEEE 754 float (8 bytes per element)

F32

32-bit IEEE 754 float (4 bytes per element)

I64

64-bit signed integer (8 bytes per element)

I32

32-bit signed integer (4 bytes per element)

U8

8-bit unsigned integer (1 byte per element)

Bool

Boolean (1 byte per element; 0x00 = false, 0x01 = true) Note: NOT packed bits — 1 byte per bool for simplicity and alignment. Packed-bit BoolTensor can be a future optimization.

Bf16

Brain float 16-bit (2 bytes per element)

F16

IEEE 754 half-precision float (2 bytes per element)

Complex

Complex f64 pair (16 bytes per element: 8 re + 8 im)

Implementations

impl DType

pub fn byte_width(&self) -> usize

Bytes per element for this dtype.

pub fn name(&self) -> &'static str

Human-readable name for display and error messages.

pub fn is_float(&self) -> bool

Whether this dtype represents a floating-point type.

pub fn is_int(&self) -> bool

Whether this dtype represents an integer type.

pub fn is_numeric(&self) -> bool

Whether this dtype supports arithmetic operations.

pub fn snap_tag(&self) -> u8

Tag byte used in snap serialization.

pub fn from_snap_tag(tag: u8) -> Result<Self, String>

Reconstruct DType from a snap tag byte.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for DType

fn clone(&self) -> DType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for DType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for DType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for DType

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for DType

fn eq(&self, other: &DType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
