If you start with the drivers already installed, this is exactly how GPGPU works too. You can write an almost-identical program using OpenCL (or CUDA) instead of libtpu, the only difference is that instead of this HLO the program is in SPIR-V (or OpenCL C, PTX, CUDA C). And you can start with all the drivers installed by using GCP or AMI images with all the GPU stuffs preinstalled. It is awesome that this is accessible for free.
