    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and over three terabytes of high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-44-lssd is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine featuring 44 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz, paired with 176 GB of RAM. It includes 3216 GB of high-speed local NVMe SSD storage across 8 drives, offering significant local capacity for data-intensive applications. Performance benchmarks show strong capabilities in image processing and CPU encryption, alongside solid memory bandwidth of 111.44 GB/sec for large-block reads. However, testing reveals performance tradeoffs, particularly in large-scale AI workloads where 70B LLM text generation drops to 2.37 tokens/sec. This instance is highly suited for database operations, static web serving, and general enterprise 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.
