Julia Users Can Now Rejoice, Google Cloud Has Powerful Capabilities To Support The Language

The new technological era is one where task-specific hardware and software are on the rise. This year at Google I/O 2018, Google launched a new generation of Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), already in use to turbocharge a set of products. Now the MountainView search giant has announced enhanced Julia capabilities to the TPU ecosystem. To remain relevant in the new era, Julia Computing has developed a method for running suitable sections of Julia programs to TPUs using an API and the Google XLA compiler. This development has added more options alongside Tensorflow to leverage Google Cloud.
