TPU

The central processing unit that executes program instructions and performs the general-purpose computations required by software applications.

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized parallel processor designed to perform large-scale mathematical computations efficiently, making it the primary hardware for training and running AI models.

A specialized hardware device designed to speed up compute-intensive workloads such as AI training and inference by efficiently executing parallel operations.

A training approach that distributes model training across multiple machines or accelerators to reduce training time and enable larger models or datasets.

A virtual or physical compute resource that provides CPU, memory, storage, and networking for running applications and workloads.
