    // Required methods
    fn shape(&self) -> &[usize];

Interface a specialized element-type tensor backend implements to bridge its own storage and the uniform Tensor value.

Typed backends (for example dense f64 or i64 tensors) keep their own packed representation and use this trait to convert to and from the shared uniform storage the numbers/tensor domain operates on.

Required Methods

fn shape(&self) -> &[usize]

The length of each axis of the specialized tensor, outermost first.

fn dtype(&self) -> Symbol

The element number domain (dtype) of the specialized tensor’s cells.

fn to_uniform(&self) -> Tensor

Converts this specialized tensor into the uniform Tensor storage.

fn from_uniform(tensor: &Tensor) -> Option<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Rebuilds a specialized tensor from uniform storage, or None if the uniform tensor’s dtype or shape does not fit this backend.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
