Proposed change(s)
The torch device string can now be set from the commandline. The default behavior is the same as before: it will use cuda if it's detected, or cpu otherwise. This allows overriding the default logic (e.g. force cpu even if you support cuda), or specifying a device index if e.g. you have two different GPU types.
Also logs the device type so that it's obvious which is being used.
