warp.tile\_empty
================

.. function:: warp._src.lang.tile_empty(shape: tuple[int, ...], dtype: Any, storage: str) -> Tile[Any, tuple[int, ...]]

   .. hlist::
      :columns: 8

      * Kernel

   Allocate a tile of uninitialized items.
   
   The tile's contents are undefined; the caller is responsible for overwriting
   every element before any read. This matches the semantics of ``numpy.empty``.
   
   Because it skips initialization, ``tile_empty`` can avoid unnecessary stores
   when every element will be overwritten, especially for ``"shared"`` tiles.
   
   For accumulator patterns (``a += ...``), use :func:`tile_zeros` instead -
   accumulation reads the prior value and would propagate uninitialized data.
   Use ``tile_empty`` only when the first operation after construction is a
   full overwrite (a ``tile_load``, a tile-typed assignment, or a complete
   element-wise fill).
   
   :param shape: Shape of the output tile
   :param dtype: Data type of output tile's elements (default float)
   :param storage: The storage location for the tile: ``"register"`` for registers
                   (default) or ``"shared"`` for shared memory.
   
   :returns: An uninitialized tile with the requested shape and data type.
