Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)

A Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is a special type of computer chip designed by Google to accelerate machine learning tasks, particularly those involving large amounts of data and complex mathematical operations. Unlike traditional CPUs or GPUs, TPUs are optimized for performing tensor calculations, which are essential for neural networks. This makes them highly efficient for training AI models and running predictions. TPUs help speed up processes in applications like image recognition, natural language processing, and more, enabling faster insights and innovation in artificial intelligence.
