      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 instance featuring forty-eight dedicated vCPUs, designed for high-throughput processing and CPU-bound workloads without local storage.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-48 is a compute-optimized instance featuring 48 dedicated vCPUs and 96 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor at 2.3 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 24 physical cores with hyper-threading and a 260 MB L3 cache. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, presenting a resource tradeoff of 2.0 GB of RAM per core. Benchmark data shows strong multi-core capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 17695.0 and top-tier performance in image and text processing. It also delivers strong results in LLM inference, processing 205.4 tokens/sec on a medium 7B model. This profile makes the instance highly efficient for compute-heavy tasks but less suitable for memory-intensive applications. It is designed for workloads such as software compilation, static web serving, and CPU-based inference.

      Workload Profiles

      2.92Score
      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.
