dev#

ivy.dev(x, /, *, as_native=False)[source]#

Get the native device handle for input array x.

Parameters:

x (Union[Array, NativeArray]) – array for which to get the device handle.
as_native (bool, default: False) – Whether or not to return the dev in native format. Default is False.

Return type:

Union[Device, NativeDevice]

Returns:

ret: Device handle for the array.

Examples

With ivy.Array input:

>>> x = ivy.array([3, 1, 4, 5])
>>> y = ivy.dev(x)
>>> print(y)
cpu

With ivy.NativeArray input:

>>> x = ivy.native_array([[2, 5, 4], [3, 1, 5]])
>>> y = ivy.dev(x, as_native=True)
>>> print(y)
cpu

Array.dev(self, *, as_native=False)[source]#

ivy.Array instance method variant of ivy.dev. This method simply wraps the function, and so the docstring for ivy.dev also applies to this method with minimal changes.

Parameters:

self (Array) – array for which to get the device handle.
as_native (bool, default: False) – Whether or not to return the dev in native format. Default is False.

Return type:

Union[Device, NativeDevice]

Examples

>>> x = ivy.array([[2, 5, 4, 1], [3, 1, 5, 2]])
>>> y = x.dev(as_native=True)
>>> print(y)
cpu

Container.dev(self, as_native=False)[source]#

ivy.Container instance method variant of ivy.dev. This method simply wraps the function, and so the docstring for ivy.dev also applies to this method with minimal changes.

Parameters:

self (Container) – contaioner of arrays for which to get the device handle.
as_native (Union[bool, Container], default: False) – Whether or not to return the dev in native format. Default is False.

Return type:

Container

Examples

>>> x = ivy.Container(a=ivy.array([[2, 3, 1], [3, 5, 3]]),
...                   b=ivy.native_array([[1, 2], [4, 5]]))
>>> as_native = ivy.Container(a=False, b=True)
>>> y = x.dev(as_native=as_native)
>>> print(y)
{
    a:cpu,
    b:cpu
}
