Public Methods

public static TensorBuffer createDynamic (DataType dataType)

Creates an empty dynamic TensorBuffer with specified DataType. The shape of the created TensorBuffer is {0}.

Dynamic TensorBuffers will reallocate memory when loading arrays or data buffers of different buffer sizes. Here are some examples: 

 // Creating a float dynamic TensorBuffer:
 TensorBuffer tensorBuffer = TensorBuffer.createDynamic(DataType.FLOAT32);
 // Loading a float array:
 float[] arr1 = new float[] {1, 2, 3};
 tensorBuffer.loadArray(arr, new int[] {arr1.length});
 // loading another float array:
 float[] arr2 = new float[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
 tensorBuffer.loadArray(arr, new int[] {arr2.length});
 // loading a third float array with the same size as arr2, assuming shape doesn't change:
 float[] arr3 = new float[] {5, 4, 3, 2, 1};
 tensorBuffer.loadArray(arr);
 // loading a forth float array with different size as arr3 and omitting the shape will result
 // in error:
 float[] arr4 = new float[] {3, 2, 1};
 tensorBuffer.loadArray(arr); // Error: The size of byte buffer and the shape do not match.

Parameters
dataType The dataType of the TensorBuffer to be created.

public static TensorBuffer createFixedSize (int[] shape, DataType dataType)

Creates a TensorBuffer with specified shape and DataType. Here are some examples: 

 // Creating a float TensorBuffer with shape {2, 3}:
 int[] shape = new int[] {2, 3};
 TensorBuffer tensorBuffer = TensorBuffer.createFixedSize(shape, DataType.FLOAT32);
 
 // Creating an uint8 TensorBuffer of a scalar:
 int[] shape = new int[] {};
 TensorBuffer tensorBuffer = TensorBuffer.createFixedSize(shape, DataType.UINT8);
 
 // Creating an empty uint8 TensorBuffer:
 int[] shape = new int[] {0};
 TensorBuffer tensorBuffer = TensorBuffer.createFixedSize(shape, DataType.UINT8);

The size of a fixed-size TensorBuffer cannot be changed once it is created.

Parameters
shape The shape of the TensorBuffer to be created.
dataType The dataType of the TensorBuffer to be created.
Throws
NullPointerException if shape is null.
IllegalArgumentException if shape has non-positive elements.

public static TensorBuffer createFrom (TensorBuffer buffer, DataType dataType)

Creates a TensorBuffer deep-copying data from another, with specified DataType.

Parameters
buffer the source TensorBuffer to copy from.
dataType the expected DataType of newly created TensorBuffer.
Throws
NullPointerException if buffer is null.

public ByteBuffer getBuffer ()

Returns the data buffer.

public abstract DataType getDataType ()

Returns the data type of this buffer.

public int getFlatSize ()

Gets the flatSize of the buffer.

Throws
IllegalStateException if the underlying data is corrupted

public abstract float[] getFloatArray ()

Returns a float array of the values stored in this buffer. If the buffer is of different types than float, the values will be converted into float. For example, values in TensorBufferUint8 will be converted from uint8 to float.

public abstract float getFloatValue (int absIndex)
