Google Cloud (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) revealed today the general availability of G4 VMs, or virtual machines, which are powered by Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs for industrial and enterprise artificial intelligence uses.
The G4 machine series also uses AMD’s (AMD) EPYC Turin CPU platform.
Nvidia Omniverse and Nvidia Isaac Sim are also now available as virtual machine images through the Google Cloud Marketplace. Nvidia said these help power physical, AI-driven applications for manufacturing, automotive and logistics.
“The G4 VM offers a profound leap in performance, with up to 9x the throughput of G2 instances, enabling a step-change in results for a wide spectrum of workloads, from multi-modal AI inference, photorealistic design and visualization, and robotics simulation using applications developed on NVIDIA Omniverse,” Google said in a blog post.
It allows users to increase the speed of generative AI applications such as multimodal and text-to-image creation models. It also improves times for training, fine-tuning and inference for large language models, the company said.
“These latest announcements establish a complete, end-to-end platform built on the Nvidia Blackwell platform — from Nvidia GB200 NVL72 and Nvidia HGX B200 for massive-scale AI training and inference, to the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell for AI inference and visual computing on G4 VMs,” Nvidia noted.
