This article demonstrates how we can implement a Deep Learning model using PyTorch with TPU to accelerate the training process. Here, we define a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model using PyTorch and train this model in the PyTorch/XLA environment. XLA connects the CNN model with the Google Cloud TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) in the distributed multiprocessing environment. In this implementation, 8 TPU cores are used to create a multiprocessing environment.
