How to create a new CudaTensor of type accreal in c code?

[mbcel]

I am implementing my own module with a cuda kernel. In the kernel I want to add up a specific value globally and so I need to pass a THCTensor of type accreal into the cuda kernel function.

Now I am wondering how I can create a new THCTensor inside the C calling function that is of type accreal instead of real?

Can I do this like this somehow?

accrealTensor = THCTensor_(new)(state, realTensor);
