      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density memory instance featuring eighty-eight dedicated vCPUs and advanced matrix extensions for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-highmem-88 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance featuring 88 dedicated vCPUs and 704.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz, it includes 105 MB of L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. While single-core benchmarks place it in the average tier, its multi-core and memory bandwidth performance rank in the top 25%. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, making it a specialized resource for memory-intensive tasks. The platform's hardware configuration delivers strong performance in database operations and multi-threaded decompression, balancing high memory capacity with robust parallel processing capabilities.

      Workload Profiles

      3.83Score
      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.
