DarwiNN a.k.a. Edge Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is a scalable fully templatized Hardware and Software Machine Learning solution to accelerate on-device machine learning as well as data center inference. While DarwiNN hardware is being tiled and scaled out in terms of compute capability, DarwiNN compiler hides architectural details, such as different number of parallel compute units, different hardware capability, and different storage amount over multiple generations, from our users to provide seamless acceleration. We work with a lot of great machine learning research and product teams across Google (e.g., Camera, Speech, Translate, TTS, etc.) to land their on-device machine learning ideas into products with lower latency, better energy efficiency, privacy, offline processing, and lower cost. The hardware design team's mission is to deliver best Power/Performance/Area for ML while enabling new features.
