Review the complete list of the AWS, Azure, and OCI instance types that are available for use on the DNAnexus Platform. ## About Instance Types ### Availability When you configure a tool to run an analysis in a project, you can review the instance types available in that project in the tool's [runtime settings](/getting-started/key-concepts/apps-and-workflows.md#configure-runtime-settings) before running it. {% hint style="info" %} Not all instance types are accessible to all customers. If you want to use an instance type listed here, but cannot access it when running an analysis, [contact DNAnexus Support](mailto:support@dnanexus.com). {% endhint %} ### GPU Instance Types AWS, Azure, and OCI GPU instance types are available for use on the Platform. See the full [list of GPU instance types](#gpu-instance-types-1) and learn [how to specify the NVIDIA driver version](/developer/apps/io-and-run-specifications.md#run-specification). ### FPGA Instance Types AWS FPGA instance types are available for use on the Platform. See the full [list of FPGA instance types](#fpga-instance-types-1) and learn [how to specify the FPGA driver version](/developer/apps/io-and-run-specifications.md#run-specification). ### OS Support Ubuntu Linux 24.04 and 20.04 are supported on all instance types in all regions. ### Resource Usage When using any instance, the Platform uses some resources to run processes that support your job and provide API services. For example, around 5% of the available storage is reserved for Platform use. Your job's virtual file system can use the remaining space as local scratch. The Platform also allocates some available memory to its processes. For OCI instance types, the **Memory (GiB)** column shows the amount requested from OCI. The usable memory on an OCI instance is a few percent lower than the requested amount. ### New Versions of Existing Instance Types DNAnexus adds new versions of existing instance types as cloud providers make them available. These new versions feature better hardware, such as a more powerful CPU, more memory, more local storage, or some combination of these elements. On the Platform, each new instance type version has a version infix, such as `_v2`, in its name, to distinguish it from the original version of that instance type. See the [Instance Names section](#instance-type-names) for more information on version infixes. Although the latest instance type versions deliver better performance, DNAnexus maintains both the original and updated versions of instance types. For example, you can access both `mem1_ssd1_x8` and `mem1_ssd1_v2_x8`. See the [full list of available instance types](#available-instance-types) for more information. ## Instance Type Names Except for [GPU and FPGA instance types](#gpu-and-fpga-instance-type-names), instance type names are constructed according to the following scheme: | Cloud provider prefix | | Memory infix | | Storage infix | | Version infix | | Core suffix | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |

| Where: * **Cloud provider prefix:** Denotes the cloud provider. * **Memory infix**: Denotes the memory capacity (per core). * **Storage infix**: Denotes the local storage technology and capacity (per core). `ssd` represents a solid-state drive, whereas `hdd` represents a regular hard disk drive. * **Version infix** (optional): Denotes the version of the instance type. * **Core suffix**: Denotes the number of cores. For example, `mem1_ssd1_v2_x8` is the second version of an instance type available on AWS, featuring 8 cores, 16GiB of memory (2GiB/core), and 160GB of solid-state drive storage (20GB/core). Similarly, `azure:mem1_ssd1_x8` is an instance type available on Azure, featuring 8 cores, 15.7GiB of memory (\~1.9GiB/core), and 128GB of solid-state drive storage (16GB/core). {% hint style="info" %} Not all name combinations are available as instance types. See the [Available Instance Types](#available-instance-types) section for full detail on available instance types. {% endhint %} ### GPU and FPGA Instance Type Names GPU and FPGA instance type names follow the standard instance-type schema, but with the inclusion of an additional infix. This infix is included before the version suffix, and provides information on the instance type (GPU or FPGA). Many such infixes also include a number, indicating the number of GPUs or FPGAs included in the instance. For example, the AWS FPGA instance type `mem3_ssd2_fpga1_x24` includes 1 FPGA. The AWS GPU instance type `mem2_ssd1_gpu4_x48`, meanwhile, includes 4 GPUs. For more information, see the detailed lists of [GPU instance types](#gpu-instance-types-1) and [FPGA instance types](#fpga-instance-types-1). ## Available Instance Types ### Standard AWS Instance

The two OCI GPU instance types without a regional label are available in both `oci:us-ashburn-1` and `oci:sa-saopaulo-1`. {% hint style="info" %} **CUDA support** The CUDA version available on your GPU instance depends on which NVIDIA driver version you select in your [`nvidiaDriver` configuration](#selecting-an-nvidia-driver-version). The default driver version `R470` supports CUDA 11.4, `R535` supports CUDA 12.2, and `R580` supports CUDA 13.0. If you need a newer CUDA version than what these drivers provide, you can use [NVIDIA Forward Compatibility](/faqs/developing-apps-and-applets.md#how-do-i-run-newer-nvidia-gpu-accelerated-software-in-my-app) to run more recent GPU-accelerated software. {% endhint %} #### Selecting an NVIDIA Driver Version To choose a specific NVIDIA driver version for a GPU job, set `nvidiaDriver` in the [`systemRequirements` field of the run specification](/developer/apps/io-and-run-specifications.md#run-specification) or provide it at launch time. If you use the CLI, pass the runtime value through `dx run --extra-args`. For example: ```shell dx run app-swiss-army-knife \ --instance-type mem2_ssd1_gpu_x32 \ --extra-args '{"systemRequirements":{"*":{"nvidiaDriver":"R580"}}}' ``` For API details, including the accepted `nvidiaDriver` values, see [Requesting Instance Types](/developer/api/running-analyses/applets-and-entry-points.md#requesting-instance-types). | Instance Type | Cores | Memory (GiB) | Storage (GB) | GPU | GPU Memory (GiB) | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------- | ---------------- | | `mem2_ssd1_gpu_x16` | 16 | 64 | 225 | 1 NVIDIA T4 | 16 | | `mem2_ssd1_gpu_x32` | 32 | 128 | 900 | 1 NVIDIA T4 | 16 | | `mem2_ssd1_gpu_x48` | 48 | 192 | 900 | 4 NVIDIA T4 | 64 | | `mem2_ssd1_gpu_x64` | 64 | 256 | 900 | 1 NVIDIA T4 | 16 | | `mem2_ssd1_gpu1_x32` | 32 | 128 | 900 | 1 NVIDIA T4 | 16 | | `mem2_ssd1_gpu1_x64` | 64 | 256 | 900 | 1 NVIDIA T4 | 16 | | `mem2_ssd1_gpu4_x48` | 48 | 192 | 900 | 4 NVIDIA T4 | 64 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_x4` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 4 | 16 | 250 | 1 NVIDIA A10G | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_x8` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 8 | 32 | 450 | 1 NVIDIA A10G | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_x16` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 16 | 64 | 600 | 1 NVIDIA A10G | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_x32` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 32 | 128 | 900 | 1 NVIDIA A10G | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_x64` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 64 | 256 | 1,900 | 1 NVIDIA A10G | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu4_x48` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 48 | 192 | 3,800 | 4 NVIDIA A10G | 96 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu4_x96` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 96 | 384 | 3,800 | 4 NVIDIA A10G | 96 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu8_x192` ([High cost, Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 192 | 768 | 7,600 | 8 NVIDIA A10G | 192 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_v2_x4` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 4 | 16 | 250 | 1 NVIDIA L4 | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_v2_x8` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 8 | 32 | 450 | 1 NVIDIA L4 | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_v2_x16` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 16 | 64 | 600 | 1 NVIDIA L4 | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_v2_x32` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 32 | 128 | 900 | 1 NVIDIA L4 | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu1_v2_x64` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 64 | 256 | 1,880 | 1 NVIDIA L4 | 24 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu4_v2_x48` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 48 | 192 | 3,760 | 4 NVIDIA L4 | 96 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu4_v2_x96` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 96 | 384 | 3,760 | 4 NVIDIA L4 | 96 | | `mem2_ssd2_gpu8_v2_x192` ([High cost, Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 192 | 768 | 7,520 | 8 NVIDIA L4 | 192 | | `mem3_ssd1_gpu1_x16` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 16 | 128 | 600 | 1 NVIDIA L4 | 24 | | `mem3_ssd1_gpu1_x32` ([Licensed, Regional](#instance-type-legend)) | 32 | 256 | 900 | 1 NVIDIA L4 | 24 | | `mem3_ssd2_gpu8_x96` ([High cost, Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 96 | 1,152 | 8,000 | 8 NVIDIA A100 | 320 | | `azure:mem3_ssd2_gpu4_x64` ([High cost](#instance-type-legend)) | 64 | 488 | 2,048 | 4 NVIDIA T4 | 64 | | `oci:mem2_ssd1_GPU_v2_x24` ([OCI US East only](#instance-type-legend)) | 24 | 72 | 480 | 1 NVIDIA P100 | 16 | | `oci:mem3_ssd1_GPU_v3_x12` ([OCI US East only](#instance-type-legend)) | 12 | 90 | 240 | 1 NVIDIA V100 | 16 | | `oci:mem3_ssd1_GPU_v3_x24` ([OCI US East only](#instance-type-legend)) | 24 | 180 | 480 | 2 NVIDIA V100 | 32 | | `oci:mem3_ssd1_GPU_v3_x48` ([OCI US East only](#instance-type-legend)) | 48 | 360 | 960 | 4 NVIDIA V100 | 64 | | `oci:mem3_ssd2_GPU_vA10_x30` | 30 | 240 | 960 | 1 NVIDIA A10 | 24 | | `oci:mem3_ssd2_GPU_vA10_x60` | 60 | 480 | 1,920 | 2 NVIDIA A10 | 48 | ### FPGA Instance Types The following table shows all the FPGA instance types available on AWS. | Instance Type | Cores | Memory (GiB) | Storage (GB) | FPGA | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | ------------ | ------------ | ---- | | `mem3_ssd2_fpga1_x8` ([Deprecated](#instance-type-legend)) | 8 | 122 | 470 | 1 | | `mem3_ssd2_fpga1_x16` ([Deprecated](#instance-type-legend)) | 16 | 244 | 940 | 2 | | `mem3_ssd2_fpga1_x24` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 24 | 256 | 940 | 1 | | `mem3_ssd2_fpga1_x64` ([Deprecated](#instance-type-legend)) | 64 | 976 | 3,760 | 8 | | `mem3_ssd2_fpga2_x48` ([Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 48 | 512 | 1,880 | 2 | | `mem3_ssd2_fpga8_x192` ([High cost, Licensed](#instance-type-legend)) | 192 | 2,048 | 7,520 | 8 | ### Instance Type Legend Some rows include linked labels that highlight cost, access, regional availability, or lifecycle caveats. * **High cost**: Expensive.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://documentation.dnanexus.com/developer/api/running-analyses/instance-types.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
