        Cast the parameters and buffers of Layer by the give device, dtype and blocking.

        Parameters:
            device(str|paddle.CPUPlace()|paddle.CUDAPlace()|paddle.CUDAPinnedPlace()|paddle.XPUPlace()|None, optional): The device of the Layer which want to be stored.
            If None, the device is the same with the original Tensor. If device is string, it can be ``cpu``, ``gpu:x`` and ``xpu:x``, where ``x`` is the
            index of the GPUs or XPUs. Default: None.

            dtype(str|numpy.dtype|paddle.dtype|None, optional): The type of the data. If None, the dtype is the same with the original Tensor. Default: None.

            blocking(bool|None, optional): If False and the source is in pinned memory, the copy will be
              asynchronous with respect to the host. Otherwise, the argument has no effect. If None, the blocking is set True. Default: None.

            include_sublayers(bool|True, optional): If True, deal with self and all sublayers parameters and buffers, if not only deal with self parameters and buffers. Default: True.

            floating_only(bool|False, optional): If True, only cast all floating point parameters and buffers of Layer by the give device, dtype and blocking.
