      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high memory density for memory-bound database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform c3d-highmem-16 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server powered by an AMD EPYC 9B14 processor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores and 128 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core. The processor supports AVX-512 and cryptographic instructions, but the instance lacks local storage and GPU acceleration. Benchmark data shows strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, while multi-core compute, database operations, and small-model LLM inference remain average. A key tradeoff is its memory bandwidth, which drops significantly during large-block uncached read and write operations. This configuration is best suited for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, caching layers, and text processing tasks that benefit from a high memory-to-compute ratio without requiring local NVMe storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.839Score
      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.
