Detailed Description

tensor blob class that can be used to hold tensor of any dimension, any device and any data type, This is a weak type that can be used to transfer data through interface TBlob itself do not involve any arithmentic operations, but it can be converted to tensor of fixed dimension for further operations

Like tensor, this data structure is like a pointer class and do not implicit allocated, de-allocate space. This data structure can be helpful to hold tensors of different dimensions and wait for further processing
