      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and strong memory performance for CPU-intensive workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2-standard-30 is a compute-optimized server instance configured with 30 vCPUs and 120.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 3.1 GHz across 15 physical cores, it features dedicated CPU allocation and hyperthreading. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark data shows average performance across most metrics, including a stress-ng multi-core score of 30787.06 and a static web serving throughput of 18.82 GB/sec. However, memory performance is strong, ranking in the top 25% with a PassMark memory score of 2815.71. Tradeoffs include poor performance on large LLM inference tasks, with prompt processing for a 70B model limited to 4.37 tokens per second. This server is designed for compute-intensive workloads such as software compilation, database operations, and medium-scale web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      1.3Score
      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.
