The Torch package contains basic classes used everywhere in Torch5.

Input-output management is provided with File (abstract class), DiskFile (file on disk), MemoryFile (file in RAM) and PipeFile (file from a piped command). These classes also handle serialization.

Storage and Tensor are the basic bricks for powerful numeric operations. MapStorage is a cool child class of Storage allowing you to directly map the content of a file to a Storage.

Timer is provided for measuring time.

Finally, Torch provides some utility functions for creating and handling Torch classes.
