template<typename T>
struct equivalent_device_type
#include <Type.hpp>

Template structure to relate a host type to a device type.

This structure is specialized to allow a program to relate a host type to a corresponding device type. For example::

poplar::Type t = equivalent_device_type<int>().value;

class Type
#include <Type.hpp>

Class representing device data types.

The following types are not supported on the IPU:

  • LONG

  • UNSIGNED_LONG

  • DOUBLE

For other types, the sizes on the IPU are:

  • BOOL: 1 byte

  • CHAR: 1 byte (signed)

  • SIGNED_CHAR: 1 byte

  • UNSIGNED_CHAR: 1 byte

  • SHORT: 2 bytes

  • SIGNED_SHORT: 2 bytes

  • UNSIGNED_SHORT: 2 bytes

  • INT: 4 bytes

  • SIGNED_INT: 4 bytes

  • SIGNED: 4 bytes

  • UNSIGNED_INT: 4 bytes

  • UNSIGNED: 4 bytes

  • LONGLONG: 8 bytes

  • UNSIGNED_LONGLONG: 8 bytes

  • HALF: 2 bytes

  • FLOAT: 4 bytes
