+Cloud TPUs.  As such, this package is suitable to evaluate whether using TPUs
+would cause precision problems for any particular algorithm, even without
+access to TPU hardware.  Note that this package is designed for functionality,
+not performance, so this package should be used for precision experiments
+only, not performance experiments.")
