    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 general-purpose server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, balanced memory density, and integrated local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-8-lssd is a general-purpose server featuring 8 vCPUs, 32 GB of RAM, and 804 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz, it utilizes an x86_64 architecture with 4 physical cores and hyper-threading. Benchmark data indicates average performance across most metrics, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 6546.0 and a static web serving throughput of 13.23 GB/sec. The server handles Redis SET operations at 8.89 million operations per second. However, performance tradeoffs are present, particularly in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and 7B LLM text generation, which fall into the lower performance tiers. Lacking a GPU, this instance is configured for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, and database operations requiring high-speed local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.67Score
    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.
