A quantized block spec record carrying name, path, blockSize, mixedPrecision, note.

Last updated: 2026-09-09

Package: compute.kernels | Status: source-declared

Tags: compute, compute.kernels, cpu, kernels, method, source-example, thing, yeho

Describe reusable compute kernels and their workload contracts.

```yh
external thing quantizedBlockSpec
```

- text name: Stores name as text.
- quantizedPathSpec path: Stores path as quantizedPathSpec.
- int blockSize: Stores block size as int.
- bool mixedPrecision: Stores mixed precision as bool.
- text note: Stores note as text.
- quantizedBlockSpec(text name, quantizedPathSpec path, int blockSize, bool mixedPrecision, text note): Quantized block spec.
- Describe() returns text: Describe.

## Use quantizedBlockSpec

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using compute.kernels

// Describe reusable compute kernels and their workload contracts.
quantizedBlockSpec sample = quantizedBlockSpec("Nova", quantizedPathSpec(), 1, true, "note")
Console.Log(Text.From(sample.name))

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.compute_kernels__quantizedblockspec"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "compute.kernels"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/compute/kernels"

[[dependencies]]
package = "compute.tensor"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/compute/tensor"

[[dependencies]]
package = "console"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/console"

[[dependencies]]
package = "diagnostics"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/diagnostics"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/compute.kernels--quantizedBlockSpec/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


## quantizedBlockSpec.Describe

A complete caller for this public method. Sample inputs are illustrative; native resources require their owning lifecycle.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using compute.kernels

// Describe.
quantizedBlockSpec instance = quantizedBlockSpec("Nova", quantizedPathSpec(), 1, true, "note")
text result = instance.Describe()
Console.Log(Text.From(result))

```

Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
