      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal server combining 192 vCPUs and 1.5 TB of DDR5 memory for demanding database and compute workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highmem-192-metal is a bare-metal server featuring 192 vCPUs (96 physical cores) powered by Intel Xeon 8481C processors running at 4.0 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 1.5 TB of DDR5 memory operating at 5 GHz, delivering 8.0 GB of RAM per core. The server does not bundle local storage or GPUs. It demonstrates top-tier performance in multi-core CPU benchmarks, memory bandwidth, and database operations, as well as strong capabilities in cryptographic and vector calculations via integrated AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. This hardware profile provides high resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for enterprise-grade applications requiring dedicated physical resources. It is highly suited for memory-intensive databases, high-throughput web serving, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      7.41Score
      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.
