Training ImageNet on a TPU in 12.5 hours with GKE and RiseMLGoogle’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), a custom-developed accelerator for deep learning, offers a fast and cost-efficient alternative to training deep learning models in the cloud: it is capable of training a ResNet-50 model on ImageNet in 12.5 hours — for an equivalent of ~$81 of TPU compute time. At RiseML, we believe that machine learn
