novaphy.DeviceType¶

Compute backend type used by Device descriptors.

Member	Description
`CPU`	Host (CPU) device. Always available.
`CUDA`	NVIDIA CUDA device. Available when NovaPhy is built with CUDA support and a compatible runtime is present.
`Vulkan`	Vulkan device. Reserved for future GPU backends — not currently supported by any solver.
`Metal`	Apple Metal device. Reserved for future macOS GPU backends — not currently supported by any solver.

Notes¶

Vulkan and Metal are listed for forward compatibility; selecting them today simply propagates to the underlying solver, which will fall back to the CPU backend or raise. Use CUDA for GPU work.
Use Device.cpu() / Device.cuda(ordinal=N) factories instead of constructing a Device by enum directly.
