<p id="type-promotion-doc">When the dtypes of inputs to an arithmetic operation (<cite>add</cite>, <cite>sub</cite>, <cite>div</cite>, <cite>mul</cite>) differ, we promote
by finding the minimum dtype that satisfies the following rules:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>If the type of a scalar operand is of a higher category than tensor operands
(where complex > floating > integral > boolean), we promote to a type with sufficient size to hold
all scalar operands of that category.</p></li>
<li><p>If a zero-dimension tensor operand has a higher category than dimensioned operands,
we promote to a type with sufficient size and category to hold all zero-dim tensor operands of
that category.</p></li>
<li><p>If there are no higher-category zero-dim operands, we promote to a type with sufficient size
and category to hold all dimensioned operands.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>A floating point scalar operand has dtype <cite>torch.get_default_dtype()</cite> and an integral
non-boolean scalar operand has dtype <cite>torch.int64</cite>. Unlike numpy, we do not inspect
values when determining the minimum <cite>dtypes</cite> of an operand. Quantized and complex types
are not yet supported.</p>

<p>A <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.layout" title="torch.layout"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.layout</span></code></a> is an object that represents the memory layout of a
<a class="reference internal" href="tensors.html#torch.Tensor" title="torch.Tensor"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.Tensor</span></code></a>. Currently, we support <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.strided</span></code> (dense Tensors)
and have beta support for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.sparse_coo</span></code> (sparse COO Tensors).</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.strided</span></code> represents dense Tensors and is the memory layout that
is most commonly used. Each strided tensor has an associated
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.Storage</span></code>, which holds its data. These tensors provide
multi-dimensional, <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stride_of_an_array">strided</a>
view of a storage. Strides are a list of integers: the k-th stride
represents the jump in the memory necessary to go from one element to the
next one in the k-th dimension of the Tensor. This concept makes it possible
to perform many tensor operations efficiently.</p>

<p>A <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.memory_format" title="torch.memory_format"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.memory_format</span></code></a> is an object representing the memory format on which a <a class="reference internal" href="tensors.html#torch.Tensor" title="torch.Tensor"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.Tensor</span></code></a> is
or will be allocated.</p>
<p>Possible values are:</p>

Tensor is or will be allocated in dense non-overlapping memory. Strides represented by values in decreasing order.</p></li>
