Accelerators, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), are specialized hardwarecomponents that can significantly speed up machine learning and high performancecomputing workloads. When you create Compute Engine (VM) instances or otherresources on Google Cloud, you can attach accelerators to them. For an overviewof GPUs, see theGPUs on Compute Engine documentation.

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

This document focuses on accelerator availability for Compute Engine,Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE),andAI Hypercomputer. If you useGPUs with other Google Cloud services, accelerator availability mightdiffer. For those services, see the following documentation:

• Vertex AI: accelerator locations
• Cloud Run: regions that support GPUs
• Confidential Computing: zones that support GPUs

Zones that support GPUs

Google Cloud offers GPU resources in multiple locations worldwide. Theselocations consist of the standard regions and zones, which you can read about ontheRegions and zones page. Each zone offers avariety of GPU versions. When you create resources that useaccelerators—such as Compute Engine instances or GKEnode pools—you must select a zone where that accelerator type is available.

GPU availability

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

Note: An asterisk (*) next to a GPU machine type indicates that it haslimited availability. For more information, see the sectionLimited availability regions and zones in this document.

Feature availability by region and zone

In addition to the availability of specific accelerator models, some relatedfeatures and configurations have their own regional or zonal restrictions. Thefollowing sections outline the availability for these specific features.

Future reservations in calendar mode and Flex-start VMs

For GPUs, future reservations in calendar mode and Flex-start VMs areavailable in all zones where the GPU machine types are available.

NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstations

NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstations (vWS)are supported on the following machine series.

• G4: you can enable NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 vWS on these machine types.
• G2: you can enable NVIDIA L4 vWS on these machine types.
• N1: you can enable NVIDIA T4, V100, or P100 vWS GPUs on these machine types.

For these machine types, vWS is supported in any zone where the machine typeis available.

Local SSD

For all GPU machine types, Local SSD disks are available in the same zonesas the machine type with the following exceptions:

• N1+V100: Local SSD disks aren't available in theus-east1-c zone.
• N1+P4: Local SSD disks are only supported in zonesus-central1-c andnorthamerica-northeast1-b.
