    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density compute and storage powerhouse featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and massive local NVMe SSD capacity.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral PurposeCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-176-lssd is a high-capacity, storage-heavy server featuring 176 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8481C x86_64 processor and 704 GB of RAM. It integrates 12,599 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 32 drives, with no GPU accelerators. The instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, ranking in the top 10% for stress-ng multi-core and Passmark CPU tests. It also achieves top-tier throughput in Redis SET operations and static web serving. Qualitatively, the server provides high resource density by combining massive local storage with dedicated compute, making it highly efficient for storage-intensive workloads without external disk overhead. It is best suited for large-scale databases, high-throughput web serving, and intensive multi-threaded data processing.

    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.
