New and Updated APIs
The PyTorch 1.8 release brings a host of new and updated API surfaces ranging from additional APIs for NumPy compatibility, also support for ways to improve and scale your code for performance at both inference and training time. Here is a brief summary of the major features coming in this release:
[Stable] Torch.fft support for high performance NumPy style FFTs
As part of PyTorch’s goal to support scientific computing, we have invested in improving our FFT support and with PyTorch 1.8, we are releasing the torch.fft module. This module implements the same functions as NumPy’s np.fft module, but with support for hardware acceleration and autograd.
