Google Cloud Platform Compute

Cloud GPUs

Google Cloud Platform’s Cloud GPUs attach to Compute Engine instances to accelerate heavy compute workloads. You provision these instances on a pay-as-you-go basis, scaling capacity specifically for tasks that demand significant processing power beyond standard CPU capabilities.

This setup suits teams already operating within GCP who need immediate access to specialized hardware without long-term commitments. The main friction point is the complete absence of a free tier, meaning every instance incurs costs from the moment it launches, requiring careful budget management for experimental or intermittent jobs.
