      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, 176-vCPU Intel Xeon server optimized for parallel compute, vector operations, and high-throughput multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highcpu-176 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor with 176 dedicated vCPUs (88 physical cores) running at 2.7 GHz and 352 GB of RAM. It features 105 MB of L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. While single-core performance is average, multi-core benchmarks place this instance in the top 10%, supported by high memory bandwidth of up to 458.9 GB/sec. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, presenting a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core. This hardware profile provides high compute density, making it cost-efficient for parallel processing but less suitable for memory-heavy workloads. It is designed for multi-threaded software compilation, ray tracing, image processing, static web serving, and medium-scale LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      6.5Score
      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.
