dlpack interface with pytorch fails on CPU (both ways)

[fcharras]

• From dpctl to pytorch:

  import dpctl.tensor as dpt
  import intel_extension_for_pytorch
  import torch
  array_dpctl_cpu = dpt.reshape(dpt.arange(1000, device="cpu", dtype=dpt.float32), (4, 250))
  array_torch_cpu = torch.from_dlpack(array_dpctl_cpu)

  fails with:

  RuntimeError: Data pointer is not bound to the default context of the specific device.
  

• from pytorch to dpctl:

  import dpctl.tensor as dpt
  import intel_extension_for_pytorch
  import torch
  array_torch_cpu = torch.arange(1000, dtype=torch.float32, device="cpu").reshape(4, 250)
  array_dpctl_cpu = dpt.from_dlpack(array_torch_cpu)

  fails with

  BufferError: The DLPack tensor resides on unsupported device.
  

Should those conversions be possible ?

I cross posted the issues with intel extension for pytorch repo at intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch#368 .

[oleksandr-pavlyk]

@fcharras This is to be expected. The CPU in dpctl and dpnp means CPU sycl device. Arrays created on this device are allocated on this device using USM allocator.

The torch's CPU device means host (in SYCL's terminology). Accessing USM allocations from host is only defined (per spec) for USM allocations of kind 'shared' and 'host', but torch only works with USM allocations of kind 'device' for performance.

DLPack support in intel-extension-for-torch only recognizes DLPack representation of tensors allocated on Level-Zero device for GPU using platforms' default context (default) and of USM-device kind.

@fcharras I think this issue is ready to be resolved.
