      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-dense server featuring forty-eight dedicated vCPUs optimized for high-throughput processing, software compilation, and mathematical modeling workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-48 is a compute-optimized server featuring 48 dedicated vCPUs and 96 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor. Built on x86_64 architecture with 24 physical cores, it provides a resource density of 2.0 GB of memory per core. The server lacks local storage and complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Benchmark results show strong compute capabilities, with a Passmark CPU score of 54727.59 and top-tier performance in image processing and small-model LLM text generation. However, memory write bandwidth is more limited at 64.01 GB/sec. This server is highly efficient for CPU-intensive tasks but presents a tradeoff in memory capacity. It is best suited for software compilation, ray tracing, static web serving, and moderate LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      2.89Score
      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.
