      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, tailored for CPU-intensive tasks and text processing workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c3d-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 9B14 processor. With 8 physical cores and 2 threads per core, it delivers strong single-core CPU performance and text processing capabilities. However, it lacks local storage and bundled GPUs. Benchmark data reveals a significant tradeoff in memory subsystem performance, with uncached large-block read bandwidth rated as weak and write bandwidth rated as poor, despite average cached read speeds. The processor supports advanced vector instructions including AVX-512 and AVX512_VNNI. This resource profile makes the instance highly suitable for CPU-bound workloads such as text processing, web serving, and light machine learning inference, while remaining less optimal for memory-bandwidth-sensitive applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.85Score
      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.
