GPU locations

Accelerators, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), are specialized hardware components that can significantly speed up machine learning and high performance computing workloads. When you create Compute Engine (VM) instances or other resources on Google Cloud, you can attach accelerators to them. For an overview of GPUs, see the GPUs on Compute Engine documentation.

The availability of specific GPU models varies by region and zone. This document provides a comprehensive list of accelerator availability to help you plan your deployments and select the appropriate locations for your resources.

This document focuses on accelerator availability for Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and AI Hypercomputer. If you use GPUs with other Google Cloud services, accelerator availability might differ. For those services, see the following documentation:

Zones that support GPUs

Google Cloud offers GPU resources in multiple locations worldwide. These locations consist of the standard regions and zones, which you can read about on the Regions and zones page. Each zone offers a variety of GPU versions. When you create resources that use accelerators—such as Compute Engine instances or GKE node pools—you must select a zone where that accelerator type is available.

AI zones

In addition to standard zones, GPUs are available in AI zones. These Google Cloud locations are specifically designed to house resources for large-scale AI and machine learning workloads. AI zones offer access to GPU machine types, and might also offer other non-accelerator machine types to support the primary AI and machine learning workloads that run on the accelerators. To learn more about these specialized zones, see About AI zones. To view accelerator availability by zone type, use the Select a zone type filter.

GPU availability

The following sortable table lets you select different options to see where GPU resources are available. You can search by location, GPU machine type, or a combination of these. In the Select a GPU machine type list, the machine types that have NVIDIA GPUs automatically attached show the GPU type in brackets.
