What is `volara-torch`?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

`volara-torch` is a PyTorch based library for blockwise prediction of large `N` dimensional datasets.
It uses the framework of the `volara` `BlockwiseTask` class to provide a simple interface for running
models in a variety of blockwise settings from serial execution without multiprocessing for debugging
to distributed execution on compute clusters via `volara.workers`.
