    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced compute instance featuring forty-four dedicated vCPUs and over three terabytes of high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-44-lssd is a general-purpose instance powered by a 2.7 GHz Intel Xeon 8481C processor with 44 dedicated vCPUs (22 physical cores) and 176 GB of RAM. It features 3216 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 8 drives, with no GPU accelerators. The x86_64 architecture supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. In benchmarks, the instance delivers balanced performance, highlighted by a Passmark CPU score of 47,611.69 and strong cryptographic performance in the top 25%. It handles Redis SET operations at 47.3 million operations per second and achieves a static web serving throughput of 40.85 GB/sec. However, LLM inference on large 70B models is a bottleneck, yielding only 2.37 tokens/sec. This instance is highly suited for databases, software compilation, web serving, and moderate data processing workloads requiring fast local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    2.4Score
    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.
