[`tf.compat.v1.data.experimental.AutoShardPolicy`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/data/experimental/AutoShardPolicy)

<br />

    tf.data.experimental.AutoShardPolicy(
        *args, **kwds
    )

OFF: No sharding will be performed.

AUTO: Attempts FILE-based sharding, falling back to DATA-based sharding.

FILE: Shards by input files (i.e. each worker will get a set of files to
process). When this option is selected, make sure that there is at least as
many files as workers. If there are fewer input files than workers, a runtime
error will be raised.

DATA: Shards by elements produced by the dataset. Each worker will process the
whole dataset and discard the portion that is not for itself. Note that for
this mode to correctly partitions the dataset elements, the dataset needs to
produce elements in a deterministic order.

HINT: Looks for the presence of `shard(SHARD_HINT, ...)` which is treated as a
placeholder to replace with `shard(num_workers, worker_index)`.

## Methods

### `as_integer_ratio`

    as_integer_ratio()

Return integer ratio.

Return a pair of integers, whose ratio is exactly equal to the original int
and with a positive denominator.

    (10).as_integer_ratio()
    (10, 1)
    (-10).as_integer_ratio()
    (-10, 1)
    (0).as_integer_ratio()
    (0, 1)

### `bit_count`

    bit_count()

Number of ones in the binary representation of the absolute value of self.

Also known as the population count.

    bin(13)
    '0b1101'
    (13).bit_count()
    3

### `bit_length`

    bit_length()

Number of bits necessary to represent self in binary.

    bin(37)
    '0b100101'
    (37).bit_length()
    6

### `conjugate`

    conjugate()

Returns self, the complex conjugate of any int.

### `from_bytes`

    from_bytes(
        byteorder='big', *, signed=False
    )

Return the integer represented by the given array of bytes.

bytes
Holds the array of bytes to convert. The argument must either
support the buffer protocol or be an iterable object producing bytes.
Bytes and bytearray are examples of built-in objects that support the
buffer protocol.
byteorder
The byte order used to represent the integer. If byteorder is 'big',
the most significant byte is at the beginning of the byte array. If
byteorder is 'little', the most significant byte is at the end of the
byte array. To request the native byte order of the host system, use
\`sys.byteorder' as the byte order value. Default is to use 'big'.
signed
Indicates whether two's complement is used to represent the integer.

### `to_bytes`

    to_bytes(
        length=1, byteorder='big', *, signed=False
    )

Return an array of bytes representing an integer.

length
Length of bytes object to use. An OverflowError is raised if the
integer is not representable with the given number of bytes. Default
is length 1.
byteorder
The byte order used to represent the integer. If byteorder is 'big',
the most significant byte is at the beginning of the byte array. If
byteorder is 'little', the most significant byte is at the end of the
byte array. To request the native byte order of the host system, use
\`sys.byteorder' as the byte order value. Default is to use 'big'.
signed
Determines whether two's complement is used to represent the integer.
If signed is False and a negative integer is given, an OverflowError
is raised.
