Workloads

What to run on L4.

Choose for your workload’s memory needs, software support and measured runtime.

Smaller-model inference

Serve models that fit within 24 GB, allowing room for runtime overhead and request cache.

Image workflows

Run supported image-generation pipelines and adjust resolution and batch size to available memory.

Video processing

Use supported GPU-accelerated video software. Validate codec and application compatibility for your pipeline.

Choose your setup

Start with the environment you need.

Use a preconfigured container or manage your operating system in a GPU VM. The dashboard shows current GPU and region availability.

GPU Templates

Start with PyTorch, ComfyUI or another supported environment. Drivers and framework dependencies are preconfigured.

Explore templates

GPU VMs

Get SSH and full root access when you need control over the operating system and runtime. Available configurations vary by GPU and region.

Explore VMs

Persistent storage

Keep datasets and checkpoints on a filesystem you can attach to your own instances in the same region.

Explore filesystems

Sizing

Start with memory. Then measure performance.

Model weights are only part of the working set. Leave room for everything the job needs while it runs.

For inference

Account for model precision, context length, KV cache and concurrent requests. A model loading successfully does not tell you how much traffic it can serve.

For training

Include activations, gradients and optimizer state. Batch size, sequence length and checkpointing change memory use.

For multiple GPUs

GPU memory is not automatically pooled. Use a framework and parallelism strategy that distribute the workload across devices.

Hardware specifications: NVIDIA L4. Software and workload affect realized performance.

Compare options

Compare memory and hourly rates.

Use this as a shortlist, then test your workload. Lower hourly pricing does not always mean a lower total job cost.

Before you start

Common questions.

Practical details for choosing and using this product.

How do I get started with NVIDIA L4?

Choose a template or VM, select the GPU and region, and review the configuration and price in the dashboard before launch.

Is storage included in the GPU rate?

Storage is billed separately. Retained storage continues to incur charges while an instance is paused. Review the full configuration price before launching.

Will my model fit on one GPU?

This GPU has 24 GB GDDR6. Fit depends on weights, precision, framework overhead and workload state. For inference, also account for context and concurrency; for training, include activations and optimizer state.

Can I get more than eight GPUs?

For workloads spanning nodes, explore GPU clusters. Reserved capacity can be planned at 128, 256, 1,024 GPUs and beyond, subject to configuration and availability.
