      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated compute-optimized instance featuring advanced matrix extensions for high-throughput CPU-bound processing and cryptographic workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highcpu-44 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 44 dedicated vCPUs (22 physical cores) powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor at 2.7 GHz, paired with 88.0 GB of RAM. This instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. It supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, which drive strong performance in image processing and cryptographic operations. Benchmark results show average multi-core capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 15,396.0 and a PassMark CPU score of 47,734.78. While memory bandwidth is stable at 114.34 GB/sec for large uncached reads, the 2.0 GB per core memory ratio limits its effectiveness for memory-intensive databases or massive 70B LLM generation. The server is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-heavy, CPU-bound workloads such as software compilation, cryptography, and medium-scale web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      2.4Score
      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.
