A tutorial on using Google Cloud TPUs – Good Audience

This computational prowess of TPUs was possible mainly because of their three decisive features. One, TPUs eliminated unneeded accuracy while performing training and inference. Three, TPUs assumed a minimal and deterministic design where all unnecessary functions such as caching and branch prediction were removed. Such optimized TPUs are deployed on TPU pods, supercomputers specifically developed for machine learning. In order to ensure high performance of Cloud TPUs -- TPUs that we access through GCP -- a typical Cloud TPUs work with the architecture on the image.
