Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) technical paper.

A Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is an Accelerator Application-Specific integrated Circuit (ASIC) developed by Google for Artificial Intelligence and Neural Network Machine Learning. With Machine Learning gaining its relevance and importance every day, the conventional microprocessors have known to be unable to effectively handle the computations be it training or neural network processing. The 1st Generation TPU is a hardware chip used at Google data center for faster computation. The 2nd generation TPU is now available in cloud and empowers businesses everywhere to access this accelerator technology to speed up their machine learning workloads using its high speed network. The 3rd generation TPU is twice as powerful as its previous generation and this result in an 8-fold increase in performance.
