HPC solution | Google Cloud

Overview

Optimized architecture for HPC workloads

Achieve supercomputing-class performance with our highly scalable HPC-optimized compute infrastructure featuring the latest CPUs, GPUs, and storage offerings from Google and our broad partner ecosystem.

Quickly launch VMs using pre-configured HPC VM images tuned to achieve optimal CPU and network performance. 

Get the power of Lustre without the operational overhead. Google Cloud Managed Lustre, built on DDN EXAScaler technology, delivers scalable, low-latency storage optimized for demanding AI/ML training and HPC workloads.

Advanced HPC services and tools

Use Cluster Toolkit to quickly customize and deploy an HPC environment, including partner integrations, or select from pre-built industry blueprints.

Use Google Kubernetes Engine to manage your HPC workloads at scale using containers, with support for HPC essentials like placement policies, Kueue, GPU Sharing, and expanded scalability. 

Deploy our workloads directly to Google Cloud’s capable Batch service, our cloud-native, fully-managed scheduling service for batch and HPC-style workloads.

Flexible consumption

Our latest VMs support Dynamic Workload Scheduler, enabling you to procure short-term access to large-scale GPU-based supercomputers and helping schedule HPC workloads for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.

Use Spot VMs to save on batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads, committed use discounts when your workloads have predictable resource needs, or on-demand rates for bursting.

How It Works

H4D, our latest machine type for HPC, are designed to address the evolving needs of demanding workloads. H4D VMs are powered by 5th Generation AMD EPYCTM Processors and is Google's first CPU-based VM to use Cloud RDMA on Titanium for advanced, low-latency networking.
