You can use the tensor.to(device) command to move a tensor to a device.
The .to() command is also used to move a whole model to a device, like in the post you linked to.
Another possibility is to set the device of a tensor during creation using the device= keyword argument, like in t = torch.tensor(some_list, device=device)
To set the device dynamically in your code, you can use
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
to set cuda as your device if possible.
There are various code examples on PyTorch Tutorials and in the documentation linked above that could help you.
