[Feature request] Allowing StorageView.to() method to support moving between devices

[AtomAnu]

It seems that this feature has already been implemented at the C++ level (here). So, I am wondering if this can be implemented on the Python interface level to allow changing devices (GPU to CPU or vice versa) easily.

Thank you!

Normally, If you have StorageView object in the python, you can use to function to move data from CPU to GPU or vice versa. Read cpp/storage_view.cc for more.

@minhthuc2502 Thank you for your answer! However, looking at this line in cpp/storage_view.cc, it seems that the function to only supports dtype as the input argument.

Hi

Are there any near-term plans to implement this?

FYI, I started working on bringing move_to to python.
