New H4D VMs optimized for HPC

Today, we’re announcing  the general availability of H4D VMs, our latest high performance computing (HPC)-optimized VM, powered by the 5th Generation AMD EPYC™ processors. H4D VMs deliver exceptional performance, scalability, and value for industries like manufacturing, health care and life sciences, weather forecasting, and electronic design automation (EDA). H4D supports orchestration via Cluster Toolkit with Slurm and via Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Each approach allows for near-instant deployment and scaling of demanding workloads.

For the first time, the Google Cloud CPU portfolio features a VM family with Cloud Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). H4D’s RDMA is on the Titanium network adapter and lets you scale single-node H4D performance to multiple nodes, accelerating large production workloads. 

Faster time to solution across domains and scales

Powered by the high core density of the 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPU and Google’s innovative, low-latency Falcon hardware transport, H4D VMs ...
