ChainRulesCore has an opt-in trait
is_inplaceable_destination
to denote that an array supports in-place broadcasting (in particulara .+= b
). This PR allows the ChainRules machinery to add derivatives in-place toCuArray
s and avoid unnecessary allocations.I only added the method for
CuArray
s because AFAIU wrapper types are handled by ChainRulesCore directly. Also, I didn't add the method for CUDA sparse arrays as it seemed to me that they do not support in-place broadcasting.This requires one extra dependency (ChainRulesCore), but it is very lightweight and it was already a transitive dependency via AbstractFFTs.
