upcast[check: Bool = True](var layout: Layout, factor: Int) -> Layout

Fuses consecutive elements in a layout to create a coarser layout.

This function is useful for converting between different data type granularities, such as from bytes to larger data types like bfloat16 or tf32.

Parameters:

  • check (Bool): Whether to check for incompatible factors.

Args:

  • layout (Layout): The layout to upcast.
  • factor (Int): The number of consecutive elements to fuse into one.

Returns:

Layout: A new layout with adjusted shape and stride for the coarser granularity.
