# bindOptimizerData(_:deviceData:)

Associates the optimizer and device data buffers you specify to the tensor.

## Declaration

```swift
func bindOptimizerData(_ data: [MLCTensorData], deviceData: [MLCTensorOptimizerDeviceData]?) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `data`: An array that contains the optimizer data to associate with the tensor.
- `deviceData`: An array that contains the optimizer device data to associate with the tensor.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the framework successfully associated the data and device data with the tensor; otherwise, false.
