      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized server featuring 176 dedicated vCPUs and advanced matrix extensions for highly parallelized, CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highcpu-176 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 176 dedicated vCPUs from 88 physical Intel Xeon 8481C cores running at 2.7 GHz, paired with 352.0 GB of RAM. It lacks local storage and GPUs. The architecture includes 105 MB of L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core performance, with a PassMark CPU score of 105096.7, and exceptional memory bandwidth, reaching 458.9 GB/sec for large block reads. However, single-core performance remains average. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, this instance is structured for parallel, compute-heavy tasks rather than memory-intensive applications. It is suited for high-throughput web serving, multi-threaded software compilation, database operations, and CPU-based matrix math workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      6.64Score
      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.
