Google Launches Its Fourth Generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPUv4)

Tensor Processing Unit is a unique Application-Specific-Integrated-Circuit (ASIC) specifically designed for AI acceleration in Neural Network Machine Learning. The software used in this structure is Google’s TensorFlow. Recently Google’s TPU has broken all previous performance records, measured in MLPerf benchmark competition. Google stood on top in 6/8 benchmarks, i.e., DLRM, Transformer, BERT, SSD, ResNet-50, and Mask R-CNN. TPU v4 is 2.7 times faster than its predecessors. Read more
