    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for data-intensive workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-22-lssd is a general-purpose virtual machine configured with 22 vCPUs and 88 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz, it features 11 physical cores with hyper-threading and a 105 MB L3 cache. The server includes 1608 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across four drives, but lacks GPU acceleration. Benchmark results show balanced performance, with a Passmark CPU score of 28697.69 and a multi-core Geekbench score of 12136.0. It demonstrates strong capabilities in small-model LLM text generation, achieving 293.95 tokens per second. The combination of dedicated compute, balanced memory, and high-speed local storage makes this instance highly efficient for database operations, software compilation, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    1.5Score
    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.
