      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core-count x86_64 platform delivering top-tier multi-threaded compute performance and high memory bandwidth for parallelized enterprise workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-176 is a high-capacity, compute-focused server featuring 176 dedicated vCPUs across 88 physical Intel Xeon 8481C cores running at 2.7 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 704.0 GB of RAM but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. The instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, supported by hardware-accelerated instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. While single-core performance is average, its multi-threaded capabilities excel in demanding workloads. It is highly suited for high-throughput database operations, static web serving, and CPU-based LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      6.56Score
      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.
