      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 server with dedicated Intel Xeon processors, delivering strong multi-threaded performance and advanced matrix instruction support.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-48 is a compute-optimized server configured with 48 vCPUs and 96 GB of RAM. It is powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz with 24 physical cores and hyperthreading. The architecture features advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and AMX for matrix multiplication. Benchmark results indicate strong performance in multi-threaded operations, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 17695.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 54727.59. The instance lacks local storage and complimentary public IPv4 addresses. It delivers high-throughput capabilities, such as a static web serving speed of 74.36 GB/sec and strong LLM inference processing. This server is designed for compute-heavy workloads like software compilation, image processing, and text-generation tasks where a 2.0 GB per core memory ratio is optimal.

      Workload Profiles

      2.9Score
      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.
