CPU and System Topology

Server Description

An accelerator-optimized platform combining eight high-performance GPUs, massive system memory, and high-speed local NVMe storage for intensive parallel computing.

GPU AcceleratedCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

Google Cloud Platform a3-edgegpu-8g is an accelerator-optimized server featuring eight NVIDIA Hopper H100 GPUs with 640 GB of total VRAM, 208 vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8481C processor, and 1872.0 GB of system memory. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 6432 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Benchmark results place this server in the top 10% for multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations, with Redis SET performance reaching 177.5 million operations per second. The processor supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) for accelerated matrix mathematics. This server is engineered for high-density parallel computing tasks, making it highly suitable for large-scale machine learning, large language model inference, real-time database operations, and complex scientific simulations.

Workload Profiles

7Score
Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
