frombuffer
(buffer, dtype=float, count=-1, offset=0, device=None)¶ Returns a 1-D array interpretation of a buffer.
The given
buffer
memory must be usable on the given device, otherwise, an error is raised.Note
The
native
backend requires a buffer of main memory, and thecuda
backend requires a buffer of CUDA memory. No copy is performed.- Parameters
buffer – An object that exposes the buffer interface.
dtype – Data type of the returned array.
count (int) – Number of items to read. -1 means all data in the buffer.
offset (int) – Start reading the buffer from this offset (in bytes).
device (Device) – Device of the returned array. If omitted, the default device is chosen.
