High performance computing

Accelerate your breakthroughs. Converge HPC and AI on Google Cloud’s unified platform to move from complex simulations to powerful insights, faster.

Overview

Innovate faster

Google Cloud provides a unified platform for HPC and AI/ML workloads with access to a wide-range of workload-optimized infrastructure. Leveraging architecture with the latest CPUs, GPUs, and storage, you can scale even the most demanding projects. Pre-configured HPC VM images—tuned for peak performance—allow you to bypass complex setups and focus on results.

Deliver breakthroughs

The next era of scientific discovery will be driven by the seamless convergence of HPC and AI. We’ve built a unified platform where these powerful forces work in harmony, creating an environment that accelerates the entire research life cycle. This allows your teams to not only answer questions faster but to ask entirely new kinds of questions.

Operate smarter

Deploy validated, production-ready clusters in minutes using our Cluster Toolkit and combine flexible consumption models to ensure your workload runs at the best price. Pair Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) for stable infrastructure with Dynamic Workload Scheduler (DWS) for guaranteed, job-based access to high-demand resources without long-term commitments. For maximum savings, leverage Spot VMs, to access spare capacity at up to 91% off for fault-tolerant, large-scale workloads.

How It Works

Achieve massive scale for your tightly-coupled HPC applications with Cloud Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), powered by the Google Cloud's Titanium network adapter. Cloud RDMA delivers low-latency communication crucial for high-performance computing. By leveraging standard message-passing libraries over RDMA, H4D VMs can efficiently scale to tens of thousands of cores, accelerating your time-to-insight.
