<p>This flag is experimental and subject to change.</p>
</div>
<p>When PyTorch runs a CUDA linear algebra operation it often uses the cuSOLVER or MAGMA libraries,
and if both are available it decides which to use with a heuristic.
This flag (a <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str" title="(in Python v3.10)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str</span></code></a>) allows overriding those heuristics.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>If <cite>“cusolver”</cite> is set then cuSOLVER will be used wherever possible.</p></li>
<li><p>If <cite>“magma”</cite> is set then MAGMA will be used wherever possible.</p></li>
<li><p>If <cite>“default”</cite> (the default) is set then heuristics will be used to pick between
cuSOLVER and MAGMA if both are available.</p></li>
<li><p>When no input is given, this function returns the currently preferred library.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Note: When a library is preferred other libraries may still be used if the preferred library
doesn’t implement the operation(s) called.
This flag may achieve better performance if PyTorch’s heuristic library selection is incorrect
for your application’s inputs.</p>

<dd><p>A :class:<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bool</span></code> that controls whether opt_einsum is enabled (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code> by default). If so,
