APU, CPU, GPU, and TPU

Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) = Central Processing Unit (CPU) + Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) = Aplication Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)

TPU uses tensor operations for speedy computations.

Example: Both DFT and FFT compute Fourier Transform; however FFT compute in a much faster manner by exploiting similarity to significantly reduce number of operations.

pydroid 3 and jupyter notebook

Learning python is always a fun. Now it comes to Android with pydroid 3. After few experiments, part of a fuzzy sytem implemented.
