ensive workloads that require high network bandwidth superior packet processing performance and superior block storage throughput and iops per vcpu memory optimized ideal for memory intensive workloads offering more memory per core than other machine families with up to 12 tb of memory accelerator optimized ideal for massively parallelized compute unified device architecture cuda compute workloads such as machine learning ml and high performance computing hpc this family is the best option for workloads that require accelerators gpus or tpus compute engine terminology this documentation uses the following terms machine family a curated set of processor and hardware configurations optimized for specific workloads for example general purpose accelerator optimized or memory optimized machine series machine families are further classified by series generation and processor type each series focuses on a different aspect of computing power or performance for example the e series offers efficient vms at a low cost while the c series offers better performance the generation is denoted by an ascending number for example the n1 series within the general purpose machine family is the older version of the n2 series a higher generation or series number usually indicates newer underlying cpu platforms or technologies for example the m3 series which runs on intel xeon scalable processor 3rd generation ice lake is a newer generation than the m2 series which runs on intel xeon scalable processor 2nd generation cascade lake generation intel amd arm 4th generation machine series n4 c4 c4n x4 m4 m4n a4 c4d g4 n4d h4d n4a c4a a4x max a4x 3rd generation machine series c3 h3 z3 m3 a3 c3d n a 2nd generation machine series n2 e2 c2 m2 a2 g2 n2d c2d t2d e2 t2a machine type every machine series offers at least one machine type each machine type provides a set of resources for your compute instance such as vcpus memory disks and gpus if a predefined machine type does not meet your needs you can also create a custom machine type for some machine series the following sections describe the different machine types predefined machine types predefined machine types come with a non modifiable amount of memory and vcpus predefined machine types use a variety of vcpu to memory ratios highcpu from 1 to 3 gb memory per vcpu typically 2 gb memory per vcpu standard from 3 to 7 gb memory per vcpu typically 4 gb memory per vcpu highmem from 7 to 12 gb memory per vcpu typically 8 gb memory per vcpu megamem from 12 to 15 gb memory per vcpu typically 14 gb memory per vcpu ultramem from 24 to 31 gb memory per vcpu hypermem from 15 to 24 gb memory per vcpu typically 16 gb memory per vcpu for example a c3 standard 22 machine type has 22 vcpus and as a standard machine type it also has 88 gb of memory local ssd machine types local ssd machine types are special predefined machine types the machine type names include lssd when you create a compute instance using one of the following machine types titanium ssd or local ssd disks are automatically attached to the instance lssd available with the c4 c4a c4d c4n preview c3 c3d and h4d machine series these machine types attach a predetermined number of 375 gib titanium ssd or local ssd disks to the instance examples of this machine type include c4a standard 4 lssd c3 standard 88 lssd and c3d highmem 360 lssd standardlssd available with the storage optimized z3 machine series these machine types provide up to 350 gib of titanium ssd disk capacity per vcpu these machine types are recommended for high performance search and data analysis for medium sized data sets an example of this machine type is z3 highmem 22 standardlssd highlssd available with the z3 machine series these machine types provide between 350 gib and 600 gib of titanium ssd disk capacity per vcpu these machine types offer high performance and are recommended for storage intensive streaming and data analysis for large sized data sets an example of this machine type is z3 highmem 88 highlssd other machine series also support local ssd disks but don t use a machine type name that includes lssd for a list of all the machine types that you can use with titanium ssd or local ssd disks see choose a valid number of local ssd disks bare metal machine types bare metal machine types are special predefined machine types the machine type name includes metal when you create a compute instance using one of these machine types there is no hypervisor installed on the instance you can attach disks to a bare metal instance just as you would with a vm instance bare metal instances can be used in vpc networks and subnetworks in the same way as vm instances note compute engine bare metal instances aren t related to bare metal solution for more information see bare metal instances on compute engine custom machine types if none of the predefined machine types match your workload needs you can create a vm instance with a custom machine type for the n and e machine series in the general purpose machine family custom machine types cost slightly more to use compared to an equivalent predefined machine type also there are limitations in the amount of memory and vcpus that you can select for a custom machine type the on demand prices for custom machine types include a 5 premium over the on demand and commitment prices for predefined machine types when creating a custom machine type you can use the extended memory feature instead of using the default memory size based on the number of vcpus you select you can specify an amount of memory up to the limit for the machine series for more information see create a vm with a custom machine type shared core machine types the e2 and n1 series contain shared core machine types these machine types timeshare a physical core which can be a cost effective method for running small non resource intensive apps e2 offers e2 micro e2 small and e2 medium shared core machine types with 2 vcpus for short periods of bursting n1 offers f1 micro and g1 small shared core machine types which have up to 1 vcpu available for short periods of bursting for more information see cpu bursting machine family and series recommendations the following tables provide recommendations for different workloads to get ai powered assistance when you evaluate which machine family best

haswell broadwell and skylake cpu platforms arm the n4a machine series is powered by google s custom designed axion processor the axion processor is built on the arm neoverse n3 compute core which supports arm v9 2 architecture the n4a machine series uses titanium for cpu offloading n4a instances provide up to 64 vcpus with up to 8 gb of memory per vcpu with uniform memory access uma domain n4a instances don t use simultaneous multithreading smt a vcpu in an n4a instance is equivalent to an entire physical core the n4a machine series is engineered to be our most efficient and flexible arm based series delivering exceptional price performance for a wide range of general purpose and scale out workloads ideal use cases include web and application servers microservices containerized applications using google kubernetes engine gke open source databases and development and testing environments the c4a machine series is powered by google axion and built on the arm neoverse v2 compute core which supports arm v9 architecture c4a instances are powered by titanium with disk and network offloading which improves instance performance by reducing on host processi...
