      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized server featuring 144 dedicated vCPUs and advanced matrix extensions for parallelized multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-144 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 144 dedicated vCPUs and 288.0 GB of RAM, yielding a 2.0 GB per core ratio. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor with 72 physical cores running at 2.3 GHz, it includes a 504 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX instructions. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs. Benchmark results show top-tier multi-core performance, including software compilation, database operations, and multi-threaded decompression. While single-core performance and text processing fall into average tiers, its multi-threaded capabilities and memory bandwidth rank in the top 10%. This server is suited for highly parallelized compute workloads, CPU-based LLM inference, and ray tracing, offering high resource density for compute-bound tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      7.7Score
      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.
