      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized instance featuring sixty dedicated vCPUs and strong memory bandwidth for database and parallel processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2-standard-60 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance featuring 60 vCPUs and 30 physical Intel Xeon cores running at 3.1 GHz with dedicated allocation. It is configured with 240.0 GB of RAM, translating to 4.0 GB per core, and contains no bundled local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks show strong capabilities in large-block memory bandwidth, database operations, and extended CPU instructions, though general compute and compression tasks fall within average ranges. A key tradeoff is its weak performance in LLM text generation benchmarks. This instance is suited for compute-intensive workloads, database operations, and software compilation tasks that benefit from dedicated CPU resources and high memory bandwidth without requiring local SSD storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.3Score
      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.
