BuildTensor(DataType type, const TensorShape & shape, Tensor *out_tensor)	Status Initializes a tensor with the input type and shape, or returns an error and leaves out_tensor unmodified.

Public functions

AllocatedBytes

size_t AllocatedBytes() const 

AsProtoField

void AsProtoField(
  TensorProto *proto
) const 

Fills in proto with *this tensor's content.

AsProtoField() fills in the repeated field for proto.dtype(), while AsProtoTensorContent() encodes the content in proto.tensor_content() in a compact form.

AsProtoTensorContent

void AsProtoTensorContent(
  TensorProto *proto
) const 

BitcastFrom

Status BitcastFrom(
  const Tensor & other,
  DataType dtype,
  const TensorShape & shape
)

Copy the other tensor into this tensor, reshape it and reinterpret the buffer's datatype.

If Status::OK() is returned, the two tensors now share the same underlying storage.

This call requires that the other tensor and the given type and shape are "compatible" (i.e. they occupy the same number of bytes).

Specifically:

shape.num_elements() * DataTypeSize(type)

must equal

other.num_elements() * DataTypeSize(other.dtype())

In addition, this function requires:

• DataTypeSize(other.dtype()) != 0
• DataTypeSize(type) != 0

If any of the requirements are not met, errors::InvalidArgument is returned.

CopyFrom

bool CopyFrom(
  const Tensor & other,
  const TensorShape & shape
) TF_MUST_USE_RESULT

Copy the other tensor into this tensor and reshape it.

This tensor shares other's underlying storage. Returns true iff other.shape() has the same number of elements of the given shape.

DebugString

std::string DebugString(
  int num_values
) const 

A human-readable summary of the tensor suitable for debugging.

DebugString

std::string DebugString() const 

DeviceSafeDebugString

std::string DeviceSafeDebugString() const 

FillDescription

void FillDescription(
  TensorDescription *description
) const 

Fill in the TensorDescription proto with metadata about the tensor that is useful for monitoring and debugging.

FromProto

bool FromProto(
  const TensorProto & other
) TF_MUST_USE_RESULT

Parse other and construct the tensor.

Returns true iff the parsing succeeds. If the parsing fails, the state of *this is unchanged.

FromProto

bool FromProto(
  Allocator *a,
  const TensorProto & other
) TF_MUST_USE_RESULT

IsAligned

bool IsAligned() const 

Returns true iff this tensor is aligned.

IsInitialized

bool IsInitialized() const 

If necessary, has this Tensor been initialized?

Zero-element Tensors are always considered initialized, even if they have never been assigned to and do not have any memory allocated.

IsSameSize

bool IsSameSize(
  const Tensor & b
) const 

NumElements

int64_t NumElements() const 

Convenience accessor for the tensor shape.

RefCountIsOne

  const Tensor & b
) const 

Slice

Tensor Slice(
  int64_t dim0_start,
  int64_t dim0_limit
) const 

Slice this tensor along the 1st dimension.

I.e., the returned tensor satisfies returned[i, ...] == this[dim0_start + i, ...]. The returned tensor shares the underlying tensor buffer with this tensor.

NOTE: The returned tensor may not satisfy the same alignment requirement as this tensor depending on the shape. The caller must check the returned tensor's alignment before calling certain methods that have alignment requirement (e.g., flat(), tensor()).

NOTE: When fed with an N-dimensional tensor, this method returns a tensor also with N dimensions. If you want to select a sub tensor, see SubSlice.

REQUIRES: dims() >= 1 REQUIRES: 0 <= dim0_start <= dim0_limit <= dim_size(0)

SubSlice

Tensor SubSlice(
  int64_t index
) const 

Select a subslice from this tensor along the 1st dimension.

When fed with an N-dimensional tensor, this method returns a tensor with N-1 dimensions, where the returned tensor is a subslice of the input tensor along the first dimension. The N-1 dimensions of the returned tensor are the last N-1 dimensions of the input tensor.

NOTE: The returned tensor may not satisfy the same alignment requirement as this tensor depending on the shape. The caller must check the returned tensor's alignment before calling certain methods that have alignment requirement (e.g., flat(), tensor()).

REQUIRES: dims() >= 1 REQUIRES: 0 <= index < dim_size(0)

SummarizeValue

std::string SummarizeValue(
  int64_t max_entries,
  bool print_v2
) const 

Render the first max_entries values in *this into a string.

Tensor

 Tensor()

Creates a 1-dimensional, 0-element float tensor.

The returned Tensor is not a scalar (shape {}), but is instead an empty one-dimensional Tensor (shape {0}, NumElements() == 0). Since it has no elements, it does not need to be assigned a value and is initialized by default (IsInitialized() is true). If this is undesirable, consider creating a one-element scalar which does require initialization:

Tensor(DT_FLOAT, TensorShape({}))

Tensor

 Tensor(
  DataType type,
  const TensorShape & shape
)

Creates a Tensor of the given type and shape.

If LogMemory::IsEnabled() the allocation is logged as coming from an unknown kernel and step. Calling the Tensor constructor directly from within an Op is deprecated: use the OpKernelConstruction/OpKernelContext allocate_* methods to allocate a new tensor, which record the kernel and step.

The underlying buffer is allocated using a CPUAllocator.

Tensor

 Tensor(
  Allocator *a,
  DataType type,
  const TensorShape & shape
)

Creates a tensor with the input type and shape, using the allocator a to allocate the underlying buffer.

If LogMemory::IsEnabled() the allocation is logged as coming from an unknown kernel and step. Calling the Tensor constructor directly from within an Op is deprecated: use the OpKernelConstruction/OpKernelContext allocate_* methods to allocate a new tensor, which record the kernel and step.

a must outlive the lifetime of this Tensor.

Tensor

 Tensor(
  Allocator *a,
  DataType type,
  const TensorShape & shape,
  const AllocationAttributes & allocation_attr
)

Creates a tensor with the input type and shape, using the allocator a and the specified "allocation_attr" to allocate the underlying buffer.

If the kernel and step are known allocation_attr.allocation_will_be_logged should be set to true and LogMemory::RecordTensorAllocation should be called after the tensor is constructed. Calling the Tensor constructor directly from within an Op is deprecated: use the OpKernelConstruction/OpKernelContext allocate_* methods to allocate a new tensor, which record the kernel and step.

a must outlive the lifetime of this Tensor.

Tensor

 Tensor(
  DataType type,
  const TensorShape & shape,
  TensorBuffer *buf
)

Creates a tensor with the input datatype, shape and buf.

Acquires a ref on buf that belongs to this Tensor.

Tensor

 Tensor(
  DataType type,
  TensorShape shape,
  core::RefCountPtr< TensorBuffer > buf
)

Creates a tensor with the input datatype, shape and buf.

Takes an ownership of the bufffer from the reference counted pointer.

Tensor

 Tensor(
  DataType type
)

Creates an empty Tensor of the given data type.

Like Tensor(), returns a 1-dimensional, 0-element Tensor with IsInitialized() returning True. See the Tensor() documentation for details.

UnsafeCopyFromInternal

void UnsafeCopyFromInternal(

Returns the data type.

flat

TTypes< T >::Flat flat()

Return the tensor data as an Eigen::Tensor of the data type and a specified shape.

These methods allow you to access the data with the dimensions and sizes of your choice. You do not need to know the number of dimensions of the Tensor to call them. However, they CHECK that the type matches and the dimensions requested creates an Eigen::Tensor with the same number of elements as the tensor.

Example:

  
    typedef float T;
    Tensor my_ten(...built with Shape{planes: 4, rows: 3, cols: 5}...);
    // 1D Eigen::Tensor, size 60:
    auto flat = my_ten.flat();
    // 2D Eigen::Tensor 12 x 5:
    auto inner = my_ten.flat_inner_dims();
    // 2D Eigen::Tensor 4 x 15:
    auto outer = my_ten.shaped, 2="">({4, 15});
    // CHECK fails, bad num elements:
    auto outer = my_ten.shaped, 2="">({4, 8});
    // 3D Eigen::Tensor 6 x 5 x 2:
    auto weird = my_ten.shaped, 3="">({6, 5, 2});
    // CHECK fails, type mismatch:
    auto bad   = my_ten.flat();</t,></t,></t,>

flat_inner_dims

TTypes< T, NDIMS >::Tensor flat_inner_dims()

Returns the data as an Eigen::Tensor with NDIMS dimensions, collapsing all Tensor dimensions but the last NDIMS-1 into the first dimension of the result.

If NDIMS > dims() then leading dimensions of size 1 will be added to make the output rank NDIMS.

flat_inner_dims

flat_inner_outer_dims

TTypes< T, NDIMS >::Tensor flat_inner_outer_dims(

)

Returns the data as an Eigen::Tensor with NDIMS dimensions, collapsing the first 'begin' Tensor dimensions into the first dimension of the result and the Tensor dimensions of the last dims() - 'begin' - NDIMS into the last dimension of the result.

If 'begin' < 0 then the |'begin'| leading dimensions of size 1 will be added. If 'begin' + NDIMS > dims() then 'begin' + NDIMS - dims() trailing dimensions of size 1 will be added.

TTypes< T, NDIMS >::ConstTensor flat_inner_outer_dims(
  int64_t begin
) const 

flat_outer_dims

)

Move operator. See move constructor for details.

reinterpret_last_dimension

TTypes< T, NDIMS >::Tensor reinterpret_last_dimension()

Return the tensor data to an Eigen::Tensor with the last dimension elements converted into single elements of a larger type.

For example, this is useful for kernels that can treat NCHW_VECT_C int8 tensors as NCHW int32 tensors. The sizeof(T) should equal the size of the original element type * num elements in the original last dimension. NDIMS should be 1 less than the original number of dimensions.

reinterpret_last_dimension

TTypes< T, NDIMS >::ConstTensor reinterpret_last_dimension() const 

Return the tensor data to an Eigen::Tensor with the last dimension elements converted into single elements of a larger type.

For example, this is useful for kernels that can treat NCHW_VECT_C int8 tensors as NCHW int32 tensors. The sizeof(T) should equal the size of the original element type * num elements in the original last dimension. NDIMS should be 1 less than the original number of dimensions.

scalar

TTypes< T >::Scalar scalar()

Return the Tensor data as a TensorMap of fixed size 1: TensorMap>.

tensor_data

StringPiece tensor_data() const 

Returns a StringPiece mapping the current tensor's buffer.

The returned StringPiece may point to memory location on devices that the CPU cannot address directly.

NOTE: The underlying tensor buffer is refcounted, so the lifetime of the contents mapped by the StringPiece matches the lifetime of the buffer; callers should arrange to make sure the buffer does not get destroyed while the StringPiece is still used.

REQUIRES: DataTypeCanUseMemcpy(dtype()).

unaligned_flat

  gtl::ArraySlice< int64_t > new_sizes
) const 

vec

TTypes< T >::Vec vec()

Return the tensor data as an Eigen::Tensor with the type and sizes of this Tensor.

Use these methods when you know the data type and the number of dimensions of the Tensor and you want an Eigen::Tensor automatically sized to the Tensor sizes. The implementation check fails if either type or sizes mismatch.

Example:

  
    typedef float T;
    Tensor my_mat(...built with Shape{rows: 3, cols: 5}...);
    auto mat = my_mat.matrix();    // 2D Eigen::Tensor, 3 x 5.
    auto mat = my_mat.tensor, 2="">(); // 2D Eigen::Tensor, 3 x 5.
    auto vec = my_mat.vec();       // CHECK fails as my_mat is 2D.
    auto vec = my_mat.tensor, 3="">(); // CHECK fails as my_mat is 2D.
    auto mat = my_mat.matrix();// CHECK fails as type mismatch.</t,></t,>
