# Motivation
According to [[1/4] Intel GPU Runtime Upstreaming for Device](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/116019), as mentioned in [[RFC] Intel GPU Runtime Upstreaming](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/114842), this last PR covers the changes under lazy initialization.
# Design
This PR primarily offers the support of multi-processing via lazy initialization. We lazily initialize our runtime avoiding initializing XPU until the first time it is accessed. In our design, we extend `cuda_lazy_init` to `device_lazy_init` which is a device-agnostic API that can support any backend. And change `maybe_initialize_cuda` to `maybe_initialize_device` to support lazy initialization for both CUDA and XPU while maintaining scalability.
# Additional Context
We adopt a similar design to CUDA. So we share some code with CUDA.

# Motivation
According to [[1/4] Intel GPU Runtime Upstreaming for Device](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/116019), As mentioned in [[RFC] Intel GPU Runtime Upstreaming](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/114842), this third PR covers the changes under `libtorch_python`.
# Design
This PR primarily offers device-related APIs in python frontend, including
- `torch.xpu.is_available`
- `torch.xpu.device_count`
- `torch.xpu.current_device`
- `torch.xpu.set_device`
- `torch.xpu.device`
- `torch.xpu.device_of`
- `torch.xpu.get_device_name`
- `torch.xpu.get_device_capability`
- `torch.xpu.get_device_properties`
- ====================
- `torch.xpu._DeviceGuard`
- `torch.xpu._is_compiled`
- `torch.xpu._get_device`
# Additional Context
We will implement the support of lazy initialization in the next PR.
