    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An accelerator-optimized platform featuring eight high-performance GPUs and massive system memory for demanding artificial intelligence and parallel computing workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedMemory OptimizedCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform a3-ultragpu-8g-nolssd is an accelerator-optimized server designed for intensive parallel computing and machine learning workloads. The hardware configuration features 8 NVIDIA H200 Hopper GPUs with 1128 GB of total VRAM, paired with 224 vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8581C processor and 2952.0 GB of system memory. It does not include local SSD storage. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and high-throughput capabilities in database operations and software compilation. The processor supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX to accelerate matrix operations. This server is optimized for large-scale AI model training, LLM inference, and complex scientific simulations where GPU acceleration and massive memory capacity are critical, representing a high-density resource profile for specialized enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    7.7Score
    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.
