# torch.futures

This package provides a {class}`~torch.futures.Future` type that encapsulates
an asynchronous execution and a set of utility functions to simplify operations
on {class}`~torch.futures.Future` objects. Currently, the
{class}`~torch.futures.Future` type is primarily used by the
{ref}`distributed-rpc-framework`.
