# How do CPU and memory requests work with GPU Pods?

GPU Pods request GPUs through the `nvidia.com/gpu` resource, but their CPU and memory requests behave like any other Kubernetes Pod. Set CPU and memory `requests` to what your workload needs steadily, and `limits` to the maximum it can consume. The total CPU and memory across all Pods on a GPU Node cannot exceed the Node's allocatable capacity, so requesting more CPU than a single instance provides keeps the Pod `Pending` even when a GPU is free.
