Core backend interfaces and data structures for executing tensor operations in Burn.
Documentation
//! Conversion helpers between burn's [`DType`] and cubecl's
//! `ElemType` / `StorageType`.
//!
//! These are exposed as plain named functions (rather than `From`/`Into`
//! trait impls in `burn-std`) so that `burn-std` doesn't need to depend on
//! `cubecl` and the cubecl type tree doesn't leak into the shared standard
//! library. Backend implementations that want these conversions depend on
//! `burn-backend` (with the `cubecl` feature) and call these functions
//! explicitly.
