      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring high memory density and strong single-core performance for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2d-highmem-32 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance equipped with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 256 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7B13 processor. The hardware configuration delivers 8.0 GB of memory per vCPU, with no local storage or GPU accelerators included. Performance benchmarks show a top-tier PassMark memory score in the top 10% and strong single-core CPU and encryption performance in the top 25%. However, multi-core processing and memory bandwidth remain in the average tier, and large-model prompt processing is weak. Lacking local storage, the instance relies entirely on network-attached storage, presenting a tradeoff for I/O-heavy tasks. It is best suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, image processing, and moderate-scale language model text generation.

      Workload Profiles

      1.46Score
      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.
