Accelerator (GPU and TPU) locations

Accelerators, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), 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 these accelerators, see the GPUs on Compute Engine and Cloud TPU documentation.

The availability of specific GPU and TPU 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 or TPUs with other Google Cloud services, accelerator availability might differ. For those services, see the following documentation:

Accelerator zones

Google Cloud offers GPU and TPU 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 and TPU 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.

Accelerator availability

The following sortable table lets you select different options to see where GPU and TPU resources are available. You can search by location, accelerator 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.
