tensor.nu

tensor/tensor.nu — an n-dimensional array over gpukit.

The reusable ndarray the ML packages want: onnx keeps its tensors welded to the graph runtime, and gpukit is a marshalling floor nobody wants to program against. Tensor is the shared layer — shape, broadcasting, matmul and reductions — that onnx, anomaly and a future training package can all sit on.

Storage is row-major contiguous f64 (NURL's native float). dtype records the logical type: an F64 tensor is exact f64; an F32 tensor keeps its values on the f32 grid (results are rounded to f32 after each op), so it behaves like float32 for interop while computing in f64. Bytes in/out (from_f32 / to_f32) bridge to onnx weights and files.

@ tensor_of i dtype ( Vec i ) shape ( Vec f ) data → Tensor

Adopt a data vector (moved in) under a shape. nelem must equal prod(shape).

@ tensor_free Tensor t → v

@ tensor_zeros i dtype ( Vec i ) shape → Tensor

@ tensor_ones i dtype ( Vec i ) shape → Tensor

@ tensor_from_data i dtype ( Vec i ) shape ( Vec f ) data → Tensor

From an explicit row-major f64 buffer (data is copied and rounded to the dtype grid; shape is adopted — the tensor takes ownership of it).

@ tensor_arange i dtype i n → Tensor

1-D [0, 1, …, n-1].

@ tensor_ndim Tensor t → i

@ tensor_size Tensor t → i

@ tensor_dtype Tensor t → i

@ tensor_shape Tensor t → ( Vec i )

@ tensor_data Tensor t → ( Vec f )

@ tensor_flat Tensor t i k → f

Flat element read/write.

@ tensor_set_flat Tensor t i k f v → v

@ tensor_reshape Tensor t ( Vec i ) shape → ?Tensor

The same data under a new shape (must have equal nelem). Data is copied so the result is independent; shape is adopted (or freed on a size mismatch).

@ tensor_clone Tensor t → Tensor

Clone a tensor (independent copy).

@ tensor_astype Tensor t i dtype → Tensor

dev.nu

tensor/dev.nu — DEVICE-RESIDENT tensors (M3).

A DTensor is a Tensor whose data lives in GPU memory (a gpukit GkBuf): ops chain on the device with no host roundtrips, which is what a NN forward pass needs (upload the weights once, stream activations through). Residency is EXPLICIT — tensor_to_device / dtensor_to_host move data, ops never sync behind your back.

Numerics: a TE_F32 DTensor computes IN float32 on the device — true float32 semantics (accumulation included), matching numpy float32 and onnxruntime. That differs from the HOST TE_F32 Tensor, which computes in f64 and rounds each result to the f32 grid: elementwise results agree exactly, but reductions/matmul accumulate differently (f32 vs f64 sums). TE_F64 DTensors are bit-identical to host ops wherever the kernel accumulates sequentially (elementwise, matmul).

ops.nu

tensor/ops.nu — broadcasting elementwise, unary maps, matmul and reductions.

Elementwise binary ops broadcast with numpy rules (align trailing dims, size-1 stretches). matmul runs on the GPU via gpukit for large f64 problems and on a plain triple loop otherwise — identical results either way. F32 tensors keep their outputs on the f32 grid.
