Google has developed a specialized processor, known as the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), to accelerate deep learning workloads. TPUs are available to users through Google Cloud Platform, where they can be used to accelerate machine learning workloads, including training and inference. Compared to traditional CPUs and GPUs, TPUs are designed to deliver higher performance with lower power consumption. TPUs can also be used in deep learning in several ways, such as distributed training and model quantization.
