DataType

DataType is the S3 class representing a tensor element type. It is an enum: one singleton object per supported dtype, wrapping the canonical dtype string. The members are the element types supported by the r-xla stack:

• boolean: bool

• signed integers: i8, i16, i32, i64

• unsigned integers: ui8, ui16, ui32, ui64

• floats: f16, bf16, f32, f64

• complex: c64, c128

Construct a DataType with as_dtype(). Inspect it with dtype_width() and the is_dtype_float() family of predicates.
