We employ a Pix2Pix approachfor computing sequential flows, evaluating the effectiveness in scenarios where NNs are only a component of the system. While TPUs demonstrate performance improvements during training with large batch sizes, we observe no significant acceleration during inference compared to GPUs. The study highlights the need to carefully consider workload and system architecture when incorporating TPUs, emphasizing that their advantages are more prominent in training tasks.enText/Journal Article
