A single physical server
machine in the data center. Each host has its associated compute resources
such as accelerators. The number and configuration of these compute resources
depend on the machine family. Compute Engine instances are provisioned
on top of a physical host.
A collection of blocks
interconnected by a high-speed network fabric. Each cluster is globally unique.
For A4X Max, A4X, A4, or A3 Ultra machines, a cluster provides a common, non-blocking
network fabric for your blocks of accelerator capacity. Within a cluster,
the east to west networking is non-blocking for the entire collection of blocks.
A resource request that
allocates your accelerator
resources physically close to each other to minimize network hops and optimize
for the lowest latency.
A network fabric provides
high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity across all blocks and Google Cloud
services in a cluster. Jupiter is Google's data center network architecture
that leverages software-defined networking and optical circuit switches to
evolve the network and optimize its performance.
