NCv3 sizes series

NCv3-series VMs are powered by NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. These GPUs can provide 1.5x the computational performance of the NCv2-series. Customers can take advantage of these updated GPUs for traditional HPC workloads such as reservoir modeling, DNA sequencing, protein analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and others. The NC24rs v3 configuration provides a low latency, high-throughput network interface optimized for tightly coupled parallel computing workloads. In addition to the GPUs, the NCv3-series VMs are also powered by Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 (Broadwell) CPUs.

Important

For this VM series, the vCPU (core) quota in your subscription is initially set to 0 in each region. Request a vCPU quota increase for this series in an available region. These SKUs aren't available to trial or Visual Studio Subscriber Azure subscriptions. Your subscription level might not support selecting or deploying these SKUs.
