The H4D machine series, designed for high performance computing (HPC) workloads, is generally available for GKE clusters.

The H4D machine series, designed for high performance computing (HPC) workloads, is generally available for GKE clusters. Based on 5th generation AMD EPYC Turin with Cloud RDMA 200 Gbps networking, H4D VMs offer 192 cores (SMT disabled), up to 1,488 GB of memory, and 3,750 GiB of Local SSD. H4D is optimized for tightly-coupled applications that scale across multiple nodes and offers RDMA-enabled 200 Gbps networking.

You can use H4D with GKE clusters in Standard, or with the Performance compute class in Autopilot. For more information, see Run high performance computing (HPC) workloads with H4D.
