Hi!
I have a class with some at::Tensor fields and some of its methods are implemented in cuda.
At some point an at::Tensor field has to be moved to cuda in order to execute a cuda kernel. During such an operation:
tensor = tensor.to(at::kCUDA);
The following error arises:
CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered (copy_from_cpu at /opt/conda/conda-bld/pytorch_1549628766161/work/aten/src/ATen/native/cuda/Copy.cu:178)

Am I not supposed to call .to() in .cu files?
I use the latest stable PyTorch 1.0.1 and CUDA 9.0
