This crate provides a safe idiomatic Rust binding to [DLPack](https://dmlc.github.io/dlpack/latest/) which is the standard in-memory, (mostly) hardware agnostic data format , recognized by major Deep Learning frameworks such as [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/dlpack.html), [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/experimental/dlpack/from_dlpack), [MXNet](https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/master/api/python/docs/_modules/mxnet/dlpack.html), [TVM](https://tvm.apache.org/docs/reference/api/python/contrib.html#module-tvm.contrib.dlpack) and major array processing frameworks such as [NumPy](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/release/1.22.0-notes.html#add-nep-47-compatible-dlpack-support) and [CuPy](https://docs.cupy.dev/en/stable/reference/generated/cupy.fromDlpack.html). An important feature of this standard is to provide *zero-cost* tensor conversion across frameworks on a particular supported hardware.

The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is the stable toolchain **1.57.0**.

## Usage

There are two main cases related to where the owner of the underlying data / storage of a tensor resides and what kind of operations are to be done.

### Memory Managed Tensor

In this case, `ManagedTensor` is built from `ManagedTensorProxy` which is a safe proxy for the unsafe `ffi::DLManagedTensor`.

### Plain Not-Memory-Managed Tensor

In this case, the (invariant) Rust wrapper `Tensor` can be used or if needed the unsafe `ffi::DLTensor`.

## Example

When ownership is concerned, one can use the `ManagedTensor`. Here is an example on how the bi-directional conversion

ndarray::ArrayD <---> ManagedTensor

is done at zero-cost.

```rust
impl<'tensor, C> From<&'tensor mut ArrayD> for ManagedContext<'tensor, C> {
fn from(t: &'tensor mut ArrayD) -> Self {
let dlt: Tensor<'tensor> = Tensor::from(t);
let inner = DLManagedTensor::new(dlt.0, None);
ManagedContext(inner)
}
}

impl<'tensor, C> From<&mut ManagedContext<'tensor, C>> for ArrayD {
fn from(mt: &mut ManagedContext<'tensor, C>) -> Self {
let dlt: DLTensor = mt.0.inner.dl_tensor.into();
unsafe {
let arr = RawArrayViewMut::from_shape_ptr(dlt.shape().unwrap(), dlt.data() as *mut f32);
arr.deref_into_view_mut().into_dyn().to_owned()
}
}
}
```

And when ownership is not concerned, one can use `Tensor` as a view. Here is an example on how the bi-directional converion

ndarray::ArrayD <---> Tensor

is done at zero-cost.

```rust
impl<'tensor> From<&'tensor mut ArrayD> for Tensor<'tensor> {
fn from(arr: &'tensor mut ArrayD) -> Self {
let inner = DLTensor::new(
arr.as_mut_ptr() as *mut c_void,
Device::default(),
arr.ndim() as i32,
DataType::f32(),
arr.shape().as_ptr() as *const _ as *mut i64,
arr.strides().as_ptr() as *const _ as *mut i64,
0,
);
Tensor(inner)
}
}

impl<'tensor> From<&'tensor mut Tensor<'tensor>> for ArrayD {
fn from(t: &'tensor mut Tensor<'tensor>) -> Self {
unsafe {
let arr = RawArrayViewMut::from_shape_ptr(t.0.shape().unwrap(), t.0.data() as *mut f32);
arr.deref_into_view_mut().into_dyn().to_owned()
}
}
}
```
