TPU

A TPU, or Tensor Processing Unit, is a specialized computer chip designed by Google to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) tasks, especially those involving neural networks. Unlike standard computer processors that handle a variety of tasks, TPUs are optimized for the complex calculations required for machine learning. This specialization allows them to perform these tasks faster and more efficiently, enabling quicker AI model training and inference. Essentially, TPUs help computers learn and make intelligent decisions more effectively, powering applications like voice recognition, translation, and image analysis.
