CPU and System Topology

Server Description

An accelerator-optimized platform combining dual H100 GPUs, dedicated Intel Xeon processors, and high-bandwidth memory for demanding machine learning workloads.

GPU AcceleratedMemory OptimizedCompute Optimized

Google Cloud Platform a3-highgpu-2g is an accelerator-optimized server featuring two NVIDIA Hopper H100 GPUs with 159 GB of total VRAM, 52 dedicated Intel Xeon 8481C vCPUs operating at 2.7 GHz, and 468.0 GB of system memory. It includes 1608 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. In benchmark testing, the server demonstrates top-tier performance in LLM inference, processing 5644.37 tokens per second for 7B model prompts and 194.27 tokens per second for 7B model text generation. It also exhibits strong memory bandwidth, reaching 3828.33 GB/sec for cached reads, and a strong Passmark CPU score of 54314.03. The server provides high resource density for GPU-accelerated tasks, though it lacks complimentary public IPv4 addresses. It is designed for machine learning inference, data processing, and database operations.

Workload Profiles

2.68Score
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.
