      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, bare-metal compute platform featuring 192 dedicated vCPUs and DDR5 memory for intensive parallel workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highcpu-192-metal is a compute-optimized bare-metal server designed for high-throughput parallel workloads. It features an Intel Xeon 8481C x86_64 processor with 96 physical cores, 192 dedicated vCPUs running at 4.0 GHz, and 512 GB of DDR5 RAM. The hardware supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. In benchmark testing, the server demonstrates top-tier multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and exceptional database and web serving capabilities, including 184.72 million Redis SET operations per second. However, single-core performance and text processing benchmarks are relatively moderate. Lacking local storage and GPUs, this bare-metal instance is best suited for compute-intensive applications, large-scale software compilation, and high-volume database operations that benefit from direct hardware access.

      Workload Profiles

      7.46Score
      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.
