      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2d-highmem-16 is an x86_64 server instance configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128 GB of RAM, yielding a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. Powered by an AMD EPYC 7B13 processor with 8 physical cores, it features 32 MB of L3 cache but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance and memory scores, both placing in the top 25%, while multi-core execution and memory bandwidth remain in the average tier. The instance demonstrates strong text generation speeds for small language models but struggles with larger 70B models. This hardware profile is suited for memory-intensive applications, database operations, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.84Score
      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.
