      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring high memory density and Intel AMX support for memory-bound enterprise workloads without local storage.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highmem-44 is a memory-optimized server configured with 44 vCPUs and 352 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB RAM-to-vCPU ratio. It runs on an Intel Xeon 8481C x86_64 processor with 22 physical cores, a 2.7 GHz clock speed, and a 105 MB L3 cache. The hardware supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show average multi-core performance alongside strong capabilities in image processing, encryption, and small-model LLM prompt processing. However, text generation for large 70B models is poor. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy applications that do not require local NVMe storage or GPU acceleration, making it suitable for database operations, software compilation, and memory-bound enterprise workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      2.41Score
      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.
