      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and optimized memory bandwidth for intensive multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-96 is a compute-optimized server instance designed for high-throughput workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor with 96 dedicated vCPUs and a 2.3 GHz clock speed, it features 192 GB of RAM, yielding a 2.0 GB per core ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show strong multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 21998.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 82913.7. It excels in cryptographic tasks, text processing, and static web serving, which reached 129.97 GB/sec. While highly cost-efficient for pure computation, its low memory-to-core ratio and reliance on network storage are key tradeoffs. It is best suited for software compilation, web serving, and compute-heavy batch processing.

      Workload Profiles

      4.75Score
      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.
