I have activated the free 300 dollars trial of google cloud platform, and successfully increase the gpu all region quota to 1, so I can create a notebook with a Tesla T4 and I've been training some models using it so far.
However, when I enter the notebook today, I found that Tesla T4 is not available, and I can't create new notebook with GPU and it says quota near limit.
My question is: is this quota limit permanent, or temporary because all GPUs are currently busy? I only used around half of my free trial dollars. Thanks!

I have a quota for 1 GPU on Google Cloud. I had 1 VM running with a GPU attached. I deleted this VM but I am unable to create a new VM with a GPU as it says my quota of 1/1 GPU has been reached. How can I free up the quota now that I am not running any GPUs?
The issue has been resolved. My issue was not due to my quota. It was due to GCP not having enough resources in the region. I finally got a VM up and running by choosing a different GPU. What confused me was all the time I was going through this the quota page showed that my quota was full. Maybe it was just a UI issue.
I'm trying to create a GCP VM Instance with a Tesla P100 GPU. The region I choose is europe-west1. I increased some quotas to get a P100 GPU, and I have the following situation:
NVIDIA P100 GPUs for europe-west1 set to 1
Committed NVIDIA P100 GPUs for europe-west1 set to 1
GPUs (all regions) set to 1
When I try to create the instance I get the following error message:
Quota 'GPUS_ALL_REGIONS' exceeded. Limit: 1.0 globally.
I don't know what's wrong with this configuration. I tried I tried contacting GPC support (replying to one of their messages) but they sent me a defult support message with no clues.
Thanks to everybody
It seems that you already requested your quota increase for your GPU in all regions.
Please take into consideration that Quota increase requests typically take two business days to process.
If you tried before the quote increase has taken effect, you will receive the error message:
Quota 'GPUS_ALL_REGIONS' exceeded. Limit: 1.0 globally.
On the other hand, when a GPU is not available in the zone or region you might receive a different errors:
ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED
Or
ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED_WITH_DETAILS
If those errors appears you can check the following documentation:
Troubleshooting VM creation
I just made up a account on Google Cloud Platform and am trying to make a VM instance and have even increased my GPU quota in region Us-west1 and Europe-west4 both to 1 from 0
Yet when i try to create a VM instance using Nvidia P100
Its gives me the error - Quota 'GPUS_ALL_REGIONS' exceeded. Limit: 0.0 globally
Any help would be appreciated please and if that GPU is not usable then can you advise on a similar powered GPU please
As the error says you need to increase the ALL_REGIONS quota, take a look at this SO question
From Google documentation:
"Similar to virtual CPU quota, GPU quota refers to the total number of virtual GPUs in all VM instances in a region. Check the quotas page to ensure that you have enough GPUs available in your project, and to request a quota increase. In addition, new accounts and projects have a global GPU quota that applies to all regions.
When you request a GPU quota, you must request a quota for the GPU models that you want to create in each region, and an additional global quota for the total number of GPUs of all types in all zones."
*I assume you upgraded your billing account already as it is a requirement to use GPUs.
I try to use the google machine learning engine to train my tensorflow model. I want to use the free tier.
When I set the configuration and create new compute engine instance ( Google compute engine), I try to add the GPU too. But this gives me an error because the Google cloud give just $300 credit free tier without GPU.
Is there any way to use the GPU in free tier?
As per the Google's doc
New projects and Free Trial accounts do not receive GPU quota by default.
You must have GPU quota before you can create instances with GPUs.
All free tiers users are initiated with 0 GPU, which they will have to submit a request to increase the quota. However, to file a request, one has to upgrade his account to a paid account.
10 minutes ago, I am still in the free tier and all my projects will be billed for the $300 free trial promotion credits.
I had to upgrade my account to submit a request for GPUs. A minute later my request was approved. When I try to create an instance again, I am charged according to the price sheet.
Updates
I have just reached out to a Google Cloud Support member and here's the result.
After an account has been upgraded, the unconsumed promotion $300 credits will be consumed first. Once the credits have been consumed, the charges will automatically then charged to your payment method on file. Since you have upgraded your billing account, you will not be notified that your free trial credits are consumed and that charges will be taken on your credit card. However, you can actually monitor your charges on your account by simply logging in to your console and check usage in the billing section.
In short, you may upgrade your account first and train your machine learning model and monitor the charges in the meantime to avoid unintended charges.
Meanwhile, Google has just released out the Colab sometime earlier to the general public with a noble goal of dissemination of machine learning education and research.
You can use GPU as a backend for free for 12 hours at a time.
The GPU used in the backend is K80(at this moment).
The 12-hour limit is for a continuous assignment of VM. It means we can use GPU compute even after the end of 12 hours by connecting to a different VM.
This essentially means you can train your ML model for free! Hurray!
Hope my findings help.
Update as on 3/14/18:
Google Cloud ML Engine now allows you to use GPUs with your jobs in the free tier. I am currently training using the BASIC_GPU scale tier, which uses a single standard-gpu instance as master machine. I haven't yet tried using cluster of multiple GPUs though, will update when I find information on this.
Edit: If you are learning and want to experiment with your Machine/Deep learning models, you can give Google's Colab a try, which provides free GPU access for the same purpose.
You can't choose a GPU because, as a free trial your GPU quota is set to 0. Simply go to the quotas panel on your Google Cloud Console, then you will be able to edit you quota there to some value other than 0 by clicking on "Edit quotas" and selecting the kind of GPU you want to use.
I am trying to set up an instance with GPU NVIDIA K80 but have an error: "you are out of your NVIDIA K80 quota". What should I do?
First, please keep in mind that free trial accounts do not receive GPU quota by default.
Then, you can either request a quota increase for your account on the compute quota page or you might be able to get more GPU machines in other zones.
