Mojo struct

NullableTileTensor

struct NullableTileTensor[mut: Bool, //, dtype: DType, LayoutType: TensorLayout, origin: Origin[mut=mut], *, address_space: AddressSpace = AddressSpace.GENERIC, linear_idx_type: DType = _get_index_type[LayoutType](address_space), element_size: Int = Int(1)]

A TileTensor variant whose pointer may be absent (null).

NullableTileTensor carries the same layout metadata as TileTensor but explicitly represents its pointer as nullable.

Only layout-query methods are provided. To perform loads, stores, or other data operations, first check self.ptr and then call value() to obtain a regular TileTensor.

Parameters​

  • ​mut (Bool): The inferred mutability of the underlying pointer.
  • ​dtype (DType): The data type of tensor elements.
  • ​LayoutType (TensorLayout): A type implementing TensorLayout that defines the tensor's shape and stride structure.
  • ​origin (Origin[mut=mut]): The origin of the underlying pointer for lifetime tracking.
  • ​address_space (AddressSpace): Memory address space. Defaults to GENERIC.
  • ​linear_idx_type (DType): Integer type for memory indexing.
  • ​element_size (Int): The number of scalar elements per logical element.

Fields​

  • ​ptr (Optional[Pointer[Scalar[dtype], origin, address_space=address_space]]): Optional pointer to the tensor's underlying data storage. When None, represents a tensor with layout metadata but no backing memory (e.g. an output buffer that the callee should allocate).
  • ​layout (LayoutType): The layout instance defining shape and stride mappings.

The flattened rank.

GenericType​

comptime GenericType = NullableTileTensor[dtype, LayoutType, origin, linear_idx_type=linear_idx_type]

Type alias for this tensor with GENERIC address space.

Used by constructors that create tensors from Span, DeviceBuffer, or HostBuffer, which all produce GENERIC address space tensors.

is_compatible_with​

comptime is_compatible_with[C: TypeList[values]] = ParameterList.all[comptime[Elt: Bool] Elt]() if (Int(len(LayoutType.__shape_types)) == Int(len(values))) else (Int(len(LayoutType.__shape_types)) == Int(len(values)))

True if coordinate types C are structurally compatible with this tensor's layout shape.

A scalar coordinate element is always compatible. A tuple coordinate element requires the corresponding layout shape element to also be a tuple of the same length, checked recursively up to 4 levels of nesting.

Parameters​

is_row_major​

comptime is_row_major = ParameterList.all[comptime[Elt: Bool] Elt]()

True if the tensor has row-major (contiguous) strides.

PtrType​

comptime PtrType = Pointer[Scalar[dtype], origin, address_space=address_space]

The non-null pointer type for the underlying data storage.

rank​

comptime rank = LayoutType.rank

The number of dimensions in the tensor's layout.

shape_known​

comptime shape_known = LayoutType.shape_known

True if all shape dimensions are compile-time constants.

static_shape​

comptime static_shape[i: Int] = LayoutType.static_shape[i]

Get the compile-time shape value for dimension i, or -1 if dynamic.

Parameters​

  • ​i (Int): The dimension index.

static_stride​

comptime static_stride[i: Int] = LayoutType.static_stride[i]

Get the compile-time stride value for dimension i, or -1 if dynamic.

Parameters​

  • ​i (Int): The dimension index.

stride_known​

Implicitly cast a mutable NullableTileTensor to immutable.

Args:

NullableTileTensor[other.dtype, other.LayoutType, other.origin, address_space=other.address_space, linear_idx_type=other.linear_idx_type, element_size=other.Storage.element_size]

@implicit def __init__(other: TileTensor[Storage=other.Storage, address_space=other.address_space, linear_idx_type=other.linear_idx_type]) -> NullableTileTensor[other.dtype, other.LayoutType, origin_of(other.origin), address_space=other.address_space, linear_idx_type=other.linear_idx_type, element_size=other.Storage.element_size]

Returns:

NullableTileTensor[other.dtype, other.LayoutType, origin_of(other.origin), address_space=other.address_space, linear_idx_type=other.linear_idx_type, element_size=other.Storage.element_size]

value​

def value(self) -> TileTensor[dtype, LayoutType, origin, address_space=address_space, linear_idx_type=linear_idx_type]

Returns a regular TileTensor with the underlying pointer.

The caller must ensure the underlying pointer is non-null before calling this method.

Returns:

dim​

def dim[i: Int](self) -> Scalar[linear_idx_type]

Returns the size of outer-mode dimension i.

For a flat layout this is shape[i]. For a nested layout (where shape[i] is itself a Coord) this is the product of all leaf dims under outer-mode i: the i-th mode's extent under CuTe Layout Algebra. For shape ((a, b), (c, d)): dim[0] = a*b, dim[1] = c*d.

Parameters:

  • ​i (Int): The dimension index (compile-time constant).

Returns:

Scalar[linear_idx_type]: The product of all leaf dims under outer-mode i.

def dim[IndexType: Indexer](self, index: IndexType) -> Scalar[linear_idx_type]

Returns the size of the specified dimension.

Parameters:

  • ​IndexType (Indexer): The type of the index argument.

Args:

  • ​index (IndexType): The dimension index (runtime value).

Returns:

Scalar[linear_idx_type]: The size of the specified dimension as a scalar.

num_elements​

def num_elements(self) -> Int

Returns the total number of elements in the tensor.

Computes the product of all shape dimensions.

Return a LayoutTensor with the same shape, stride, and address space of this tensor.

This is a utility to help with porting LayoutTensor methods to this type.

Returns:

LayoutTensor[dtype, Layout(coord_to_int_tuple[LayoutType._shape_types](), coord_to_int_tuple[LayoutType._stride_types]()), origin, address_space=address_space]: A LayoutTensor with the same shape, stride, and address space of this tensor.
