Google (Tensor Processing Units)

Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) are specialized hardware designed to accelerate machine learning tasks, particularly for artificial intelligence applications. They are custom-built chips optimized for large-scale data processing and complex calculations involved in training and running neural networks. TPUs enhance performance and efficiency compared to general-purpose processors like CPUs or GPUs, enabling faster, more energy-efficient AI computations. Used internally at Google and available to developers via cloud services, TPUs help improve products such as search, translation, and speech recognition by powering advanced machine learning models more effectively.
