GLOSSARY > TENSOR PROCESSING UNIT
Tensor Processing Unit
An AI accelerator application-specific integrated circuit developed specifically for neural network machine learning.
Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) are custom-designed silicon optimized for the specific mathematical operations required by deep learning. Unlike general-purpose CPUs or even GPUs, TPUs are laser-focused on accelerating massive matrix multiplications, allowing organizations to train colossal foundation models with unprecedented speed and energy efficiency.
