Tensor processing unit (TPU)
In May 2016 Google announced its tensor processing unit (TPU), a custom ASIC built specifically for machine learning and tailored for TensorFlow. The TPU is a programmable AI accelerator designed to provide high throughput of low-precision arithmetic (e.g., 8-bit), and oriented toward using or running models rather than training them. Google announced they had been running TPUs inside their data centers for more than a year, and have found them to deliver an order of magnitude better-optimized performance per watt for machine learning.[12]
