Pool types

The available poolType options are VM-S-5, VM-S-40, VM-S-100, VM-H-60, VM-G-5 and VM-G-40. The FemEngineHDGPU engine can only run on VMs with GPU cards (VM-G-5 or VM-G-40). The following table lists the main specifications for the supported pool types:

Pool Type	VM size	vCPU	Memory [GiB]	Disk size [GiB]	Details
VM-S-5	Standard_DS2_v2	2	7	14	Based on either the 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon® E5-2673 v3 (Haswell) processor or the 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon® E5-2673 v4 (Broadwell) processor. It offers a powerful combination of CPU, memory and local disk for most production applications.
VM-S-40	Standard_F16s_v2	16	32	128	The machine is hyper-threaded and based on the Intel Xeon® Platinum 8168 (SkyLake) processor, which can achieve single core Turbo clock speeds of 3.7 GHz and sustained all core Turbo as high as 3.4 GHz with the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0.
VM-S-100	Standard_F64s_v2	64	128	512	The machine is hyper-threaded and based on the Intel Xeon® Platinum 8168 (SkyLake) processor, which can achieve single core Turbo clock speeds of 3.7 GHz and sustained all core Turbo as high as 3.4 GHz with the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0.
VM-H-60	Standard_HC44rs	44	352	700	VMs feature 44 Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processor cores, 8 GB of RAM per CPU core, and no hyperthreading. The Intel Xeon Platinum platform supports Intel’s rich ecosystem of software tools such as the Intel Math Kernel Library and advanced vector processing capabilities such as AVX-512. VMs feature 100 Gb/sec Mellanox EDR InfiniBand.
VM-G-5	Standard_NC6s_v3	6	112	336	VMs are powered by NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. In addition to the GPUs, the VMs are also powered by Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 (Broadwell) CPUs. 1 x NVIDIA Tesla V100
VM-G-40	Standard_NC12s_v3	12	224	336	VMs are powered by 2 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. In addition to the GPUs, the VMs are also powered by Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 (Broadwell) CPUs. 2 x NVIDIA Tesla K80
