    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density x86_64 server combining 176 dedicated vCPUs with 12.5 TB of local NVMe SSD storage for parallelized enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-176-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 176 dedicated vCPUs from Intel Xeon 8481C processors running at 2.7 GHz, paired with 704.0 GB of RAM. This configuration includes 12599 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 32 drives, but lacks GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, alongside strong database and web serving throughput. Conversely, single-core processing speeds fall into the average tier. The server is optimized for highly parallelized workloads, large-scale database operations, and CPU-based machine learning inference. Its high resource density provides qualitative cost efficiency for enterprise deployments requiring massive local storage and high-throughput multi-threaded execution.

    Workload Profiles

    6.59Score
    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.
