7. Specialized operators: tensors and tensor cores

Tensors are mathematical objects defined on an n-dimensional space:

  • a vector is a tensor of dimension 1 ;

  • a matrix is a tensor of dimension 2 ;

  • etc.

Given the importance of calculations on very large matrices, specialized operators called tensors or tensor cores have been introduced in a number of architectures.
