I think that might be a mistake. It should simply be Tensor Processing Unit. Tensors, not tensorflow (which is an application). Am I wrong?

- dheera 9y agoIt's possible they are building hardware specifically for TensorFlow's API, but it's also possible the journalists are just not tech-savvy and don't know the difference.
- ansible 9y agoThat seems more likely. They've working hard on creating their own complete deep learning ecosystem with TensorRT built on top of CUDA and cuDNN, DIGITS, etc.. They do support all the popular deep learning frameworks, and I don't see that stopping any time soon.
- pavanky 9y agoYou are not wrong. Forbes only expanded TPU to "Tensorflow processing unit" in the context of the Google chip.
- make3 9y agoNo, you are definitely right
