# tinygrad is a tensor library, and as a tensor library it has multiple parts
# 1. a "runtime". this allows buffer management, compilation, and running programs
# 2. a "Device" that uses the runtime but specifies compute in an abstract way for all
# 3. a "LazyBuffer" that fuses the compute into kernels, using memory only when needed
# 4. a "Tensor" that provides an easy to use frontend with autograd ".backward()"
