Mojo trait

CopyPolicy

The CopyPolicy trait defines requirements needed for a tensor to be copied.

These requirements check the compatibility of the source and destination tensors.

Implemented traits

AnyType, Copyable, DevicePassable, ImplicitlyCopyable, UnknownDestructibility

Aliases

__copyinit__is_trivial

comptime __copyinit__is_trivial

A flag (often compiler generated) to indicate whether the implementation of __copyinit__ is trivial.

The implementation of __copyinit__ is considered to be trivial if:

  • The struct has a compiler-generated trivial __copyinit__ and all its fields have a trivial __copyinit__ method.

In practice, it means the value can be copied by copying the bits from one location to another without side effects.

__del__is_trivial

comptime __del__is_trivial

A flag (often compiler generated) to indicate whether the implementation of __del__ is trivial.

The implementation of __del__ is considered to be trivial if:

  • The struct has a compiler-generated trivial destructor and all its fields have a trivial __del__ method.

In practice, it means that the __del__ can be considered as no-op.

device_type

comptime device_type

Indicate the type being used on accelerator devices.

Required methods

__copyinit__

__copyinit__(out self: _Self, existing: _Self, /)

Create a new instance of the value by copying an existing one.

Args:

  • existing (_Self): The value to copy.

Returns:

_Self

verify_source_tensor

static verify_source_tensor(src: LayoutTensor[dtype, layout, origin, address_space=address_space, element_layout=element_layout, layout_int_type=layout_int_type, linear_idx_type=linear_idx_type, masked=masked, alignment=alignment])

A static function that verifies the source tensor is compatible with the copy operation. If the tensor is not valid compilation will fail.

Args:

  • src (LayoutTensor): The source tensor that will be copied from.

verify_destination_tensor

static verify_destination_tensor(dst: LayoutTensor[dtype, layout, origin, address_space=address_space, element_layout=element_layout, layout_int_type=layout_int_type, linear_idx_type=linear_idx_type, masked=masked, alignment=alignment])

A static function that verifies the destination tensor is compatible with the copy operation. If the tensor is not valid compilation will fail.

Args:

  • dst (LayoutTensor): The destination tensor that will be copied to.

get_type_name

static get_type_name() -> String

Gets the name of the host type (the one implementing this trait). For example, Int would return "Int", DeviceBuffer[DType.float32] would return "DeviceBuffer[DType.float32]". This is used for error messages when passing types to the device. TODO: This method will be retired soon when better kernel call error messages arrive.

Returns:

String: The host type's name.

get_device_type_name

static get_device_type_name() -> String

Gets device_type's name. For example, because DeviceBuffer's device_type is UnsafePointer, DeviceBuffer[DType.float32]'s get_device_type_name() should return something like "UnsafePointer[Scalar[DType.float32]]". This is used for error messages when passing types to the device. TODO: This method will be retired soon when better kernel call error messages arrive.

Returns:

String: The device type's name.

Provided methods

copy

copy(self: _Self) -> _Self

Explicitly construct a copy of self.

Returns:

_Self: A copy of this value.
