    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An accelerator-optimized platform featuring eight high-capacity GPUs and massive system memory for demanding parallel computing and machine learning workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedMemory OptimizedCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform a3-ultragpu-8g-nolssd is an accelerator-optimized server designed for high-performance parallel computing and machine learning workloads. It features eight NVIDIA H200 Hopper GPUs with a total of 1123 GB of VRAM, paired with an Intel Xeon 8581C processor providing 224 vCPUs and 2952.0 GB of system memory. The server delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and high throughput in database operations, as evidenced by its top 10% ranking in stress-ng multi-core and Redis SET benchmarks. A notable hardware tradeoff is the lack of local SSD storage, requiring network-attached storage solutions. This configuration is highly suited for large-scale AI training, LLM inference, and complex scientific simulations that require massive GPU acceleration and substantial system memory.

    Workload Profiles

    7.87Score
    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.
