Introducing Compute Tier

We're excited to announce our new Compute tier, bringing you the most powerful GitHub Actions runners available for Linux workloads on both x64 and ARM64 architectures.
The Compute tier is designed for teams who need exceptional performance for resource-intensive workloads. Whether you're running complex builds, extensive test suites, or heavy computational tasks, our compute runners deliver the power you need.
Compute tier runners consume twice the concurrency slots of standard runners, delivering significantly more power while maintaining the same memory capacity. This means a compute job uses the equivalent resources of 2 regular jobs, ensuring maximum performance for your demanding workloads.
Our compute runners feature:
- Premium CPU allocation with enhanced performance
- High-speed memory for faster data access
- Available for both x64 and ARM64 architectures
- Compatible with all size classes (:lg, :xl, etc.)
- Seamless integration with your existing GitHub Actions workflows
You can start using compute runners today by simply prepending /compute/ to your runner label. For example:
- Standard runner:
blaze/ubuntu-latest - Compute runner:
blaze/compute/ubuntu-latest
Check out our documentation for detailed specifications and setup instructions.
The compute tier is available now for all accounts. Give it a try and experience the difference that premium compute power can make for your CI/CD pipeline.
