We introduce you to Tensor Processing Units with code examples. A Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designed to accelerate ML workloads. The TPUs available in TensorFlow are custom-developed from the ground up by the Google Brain team based on its plethora of experience and leadership in the ML community. Google Brain is a deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) research team at Google who research ways to make machines intelligent ...
