For more documentation on this, see :func:`torch.load`. 12 * - ``TORCH_AUTOGRAD_SHUTDOWN_WAIT_LIMIT`` 13 - Under some conditions, autograd threads can hang on shutdown, therefore we do not wait for them to shutdown indefinitely but rely on timeout that is default set to ``10`` seconds. This environment variable can be used to set the timeout in seconds. 14 * - ``TORCH_DEVICE_BACKEND_AUTOLOAD`` 15 - If set to ``1``, out-of-tree backend extensions will be automatically imported when running ``import torch``. 16
