      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-bound workloads requiring moderate single-core performance.

      Memory Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highmem-4 is an x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor at 2.7 GHz. It provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show average single-core CPU capabilities and single-threaded compression speeds, alongside weak multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth. The processor includes advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX for specialized workloads. This instance is suited for memory-bound applications, small caching layers, and database operations where memory capacity is prioritized over high parallel compute performance.

      Workload Profiles

      0.41Score
      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.
