      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density memory-optimized server featuring sixty AMD EPYC vCPUs and strong database performance for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3d-highmem-60 is a memory-optimized instance powered by an AMD EPYC 9B14 processor with 60 vCPUs and 480.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB of memory per vCPU. Built on the x86_64 architecture, this server features 30 physical cores with hyper-threading but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the top 25% for multi-core CPU execution, Passmark database operations, and Redis SET throughput, though uncached large-block memory bandwidth and static web serving remain average. Qualitatively, it offers a cost-efficient profile for memory-heavy workloads by omitting expensive local NVMe and GPU hardware. The c3d-highmem-60 is highly suited for large databases, in-memory caching, software compilation, and medium-scale LLM inference.

      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.
