ct5p-hightpu-1t by Google Cloud Platform

A specialized accelerator instance combining fifty-two dedicated vCPUs with an integrated TPU for machine learning and parallel computing workloads.

Google Cloud Platform ct5p-hightpu-1t is a specialized accelerator instance configured with 52 dedicated x86_64 vCPUs, 112 GB of system memory, and one integrated Google TPU. With a memory-to-vCPU ratio of approximately 2.15 GB per core, this instance is tailored for compute-heavy tasks that offload mathematical operations to dedicated accelerator hardware. Tradeoffs include the absence of local storage and complimentary public IPv4 addresses, requiring reliance on network-attached storage and external networking configurations. Qualitatively, the instance offers resource density for specialized workloads by combining a high vCPU count with TPU capabilities. It is designed for machine learning model training, deep learning inference, and parallel computing workloads that benefit from TPU acceleration rather than large system memory allocations.
