Could you build this?

No Authoring TPU megakernels requires deep expertise in Google TPU architecture, XLA compilation, Pallas, and hardware-specific systolic array memory hierarchies.

What it would actually take: TPU megakernels must be written using JAX Pallas or custom XLA custom-calls targeting TPU VPU/VMEM and MXU hardware. Developers must explicitly manage ring buffers, DMA transfers between HBM and VMEM, pipeline synchronization, and matrix multiplication unit (MXU) tile packing without tripping hardware stalls. This requires senior ML systems engineers with specialized TPU microarchitecture knowledge.
