Backend and Device¶

ChainerX adds a level of abstraction between the higher level array operations and the lower level computations and resource management. This abstraction is managed by the Backend and the Device classes. Native (CPU) and CUDA backends are two concrete implementations currently provided by ChainerX but the abstraction allows you to plug any backend into the framework.

Backend¶

`chainerx.Backend`
`chainerx.get_backend`

Device¶

`chainerx.Device`
`chainerx.get_device`
`chainerx.get_default_device`
`chainerx.set_default_device`
`chainerx.using_device`
