    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An accelerator-optimized platform featuring eight NVIDIA H100 GPUs and 208 vCPUs for demanding parallel computing and machine learning workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedCompute OptimizedMemory Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform a3-edgegpu-8g-nolssd is an accelerator-optimized server configured with 8 NVIDIA H100 GPUs providing 637 GB of total VRAM, alongside 208 vCPUs powered by Intel Xeon 8481C processors and 1872.0 GB of system memory. Built on the x86_64 architecture, this instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, as demonstrated by its high stress-ng and passmark benchmarks. It does not include local SSD storage, requiring external storage configurations. This hardware profile is highly efficient for massive parallel processing workloads but represents a high-end resource class that is less suited for single-threaded tasks. The server is optimized for large-scale machine learning, LLM inference, ray tracing, and high-performance computing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    6.35Score
    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.
