    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core, storage-dense server featuring integrated NVMe SSDs and advanced matrix acceleration for demanding database and data processing workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-88-lssd is a high-capacity, storage-equipped server instance designed for demanding, I/O-intensive workloads. It features 88 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor with 44 physical cores, 352 GB of RAM, and 6432 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 16 drives. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, the processor supports Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and AVX-512. Benchmarks reveal strong multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and top-tier image processing and LLM prompt processing speeds. While single-core performance is average, the instance offers excellent resource density and high-throughput capabilities. This configuration is highly suited for large-scale databases, high-performance web serving, and parallel data processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.8Score
    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.
