      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized platform featuring 288 dedicated vCPUs and advanced matrix extensions for parallelized enterprise workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-288 is a compute-optimized instance featuring 288 dedicated vCPUs and 576 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor with 144 physical cores. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, it includes a 504 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. The instance does not include local storage or bundled GPUs. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and high throughput for database operations and static web serving, though single-core performance remains average. This configuration is highly efficient for parallelized, CPU-bound workloads such as software compilation, multi-threaded decompression, and CPU-based LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      13Score
      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.
