What is STACKIT Compute Engine GPU?
STACKIT Compute Engine GPU provides high-performance GPU-accelerated virtual machines for AI training, ML inference, and high-performance computing. Instances are equipped with NVIDIA enterprise GPUs: T4 for cost-effective inference and A100 for training large models. All GPU instances run in German data centers without US CLOUD Act risk.
Core Features
- NVIDIA T4 (16GB) and A100 (40/80GB VRAM)
- Multi-GPU instances with up to 8 GPUs
- NVLink on A100 for high-bandwidth training
- CUDA 11.x/12.x and TensorRT support
- PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX compatible
Typical Use Cases
AI model training: Fine-tuning LLMs like LLaMA, Mistral, or GPT-J on proprietary data with multi-GPU setups.
ML inference: Production deployments of recommendation engines and computer vision on cost-effective T4 GPUs.
3D rendering: CUDA-accelerated rendering workloads with Blender, DaVinci Resolve, and other tools.
