CPU and System Topology

Server Description

An accelerator-optimized platform combining dedicated Intel Xeon processors, high-capacity system memory, and a single NVIDIA H100 GPU with local NVMe storage.

GPU AcceleratedMemory OptimizedStorage & Database

Google Cloud Platform a3-highgpu-1g is an accelerator-optimized server featuring an Intel Xeon 8481C processor with 26 vCPUs, 234 GB of RAM, and a dedicated NVIDIA Hopper H100 GPU with 80 GB of VRAM. It also includes 804 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. The CPU operates at 2.7 GHz and supports Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and AVX-512. Benchmarks indicate strong single-threaded capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2072.0 and a top-tier LLM text generation speed of 348.05 tokens/sec for small 135M models. However, performance scales down to 2.49 tokens/sec for large 70B models. This server is designed for machine learning inference of small-to-medium models, accelerated database operations, and data science workloads requiring dedicated GPU acceleration and high memory density.

Workload Profiles

1.98Score
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.
