      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density memory-optimized instance delivering massive multi-core compute power and exceptional memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highmem-176 is a memory-optimized server instance designed for resource-intensive enterprise workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C x86_64 processor, it delivers 176 vCPUs across 88 physical cores with a clock speed of 2.7 GHz, paired with 1408.0 GB of RAM. While it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, the instance excels in multi-core processing and memory bandwidth, achieving top-tier benchmark results in stress-ng multi-core tests and uncached memory reads. It features Intel AVX-512 and AMX extensions, enhancing performance for vector and matrix operations. Qualitatively, the server provides high resource density for massive datasets, though workloads requiring high-speed local I/O must account for the lack of local SSDs. It is highly suited for in-memory databases, high-throughput web serving, and parallel data processing.

      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.
