XLA: The TensorFlow compiler framework
This page has the first mention of Google TPUs since the initial announcement from Google.<p>Anyone know what the status is? When TPUs will be allowed to be used in Google Cloud?<p>I'm confused as to why they ever announced it at a big event like Google I/O rather than a paper or even a simple blog post if they aren't going to give people access to them. There's some hint of it being offered in conjunction with TF and other ML cloud offerings in the blog post[1], and this 'XLA compiler framework' looks it's related. But I'm still wondering how much time people have to wait.<p>[1]:<a href="https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-supercharges-machine-learning-tasks-with-custom-chip.html" rel="nofollow">https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-supercha...</a>
