      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and advanced matrix extensions for intensive parallel processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-96 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs and 192 GB of RAM. Powered by a 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon 8581C processor with 48 physical cores, this instance includes a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX). It does not feature local storage or integrated GPUs. Benchmarks show strong multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 21998.0 and a static web serving throughput of 129.97 GB/sec. The instance excels in CPU-intensive tasks, including software compilation, cryptographic operations, and multi-threaded decompression. It is highly suited for stateless compute workloads, high-throughput web serving, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      4.8Score
      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.
