It's not clear to me how programmable the tpu is. I'm sure it's great at convolutions and matrix multiplies. Can it do anything else?

- EvgeniyZh 9y agoNeither do tensor cores
- shaklee3 9y agoThe tensor core is one part of the GPU. It has plenty of other capabilities.
- jlebar 9y agoWithout speaking to the capabilities of TPUs, note that most ML models today are mostly convolutions and matrix multiplies.
- PeterisP 9y agoWhat else should it be doing? It's an accelerator to run Tensorflow graphs, and TF graphs essentially are converted to matrix operations and convolutions.
