# allocate(initializingFrom:shape:stride:) Creates a `BNNSTensor` populated with a **copy** of the values in `source`. ``` static func allocate(initializingFrom source: C, shape: [Int], stride: [Int]) -> BNNSTensor where C : AccelerateBuffer, C.Element : BNNSScalar ``` ## Parameters `source` The collection that provides the source elements. `shape` The shape of the tensor. `stride` The stride of the tensor. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
