Tensors: An abstraction for general data processing

Summary: Tensor Computation Runtimes (TCRs) extend DL tensor abstractions to data processing, enabling graph and relational workloads. Mapping these problems to tensor form via Hummingbird yields competitive performance with less development effort and portability. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
