      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 virtual server featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and advanced matrix extensions for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highmem-22 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server featuring 22 dedicated vCPUs and 176 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz. This instance provides 8 GB of memory per vCPU and utilizes advanced CPU instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results indicate average performance across standard compute and memory tests, with a Passmark CPU score of 28716.8 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 12208.0. Notably, it exhibits strong performance in text generation for small language models at 297.17 tokens/sec. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio makes this instance highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, including database operations, software compilation, and web serving.

      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.
