      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and advanced matrix extensions for high-throughput CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highcpu-22 is a compute-optimized instance featuring 22 dedicated vCPUs and 44.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture, it includes advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, which accelerate vector and matrix computations. The instance does not bundle local storage or GPU hardware. In performance testing, it delivers a PassMark CPU score of 28,645.69, a Geekbench multi-core score of 12,194.0, and a Redis SET throughput of 23.96 million operations per second. With a resource profile of 2.0 GB of RAM per vCPU, this server provides a high compute-to-memory density for CPU-intensive workloads. It is appropriate for tasks such as software compilation, static web serving, and medium-scale LLM text generation.

      Workload Profiles

      1.5Score
      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.
