    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 server combining dedicated Intel Xeon processing, high memory density, and local NVMe storage for memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-16-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 124.0 GB of RAM, and 539 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. It delivers top-tier single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2256.0 and a text processing score of 2913.0, both placing in the top 10%. Single-threaded gzip compression is also strong at 36.02 GB/sec. Multi-core benchmarks, such as a Geekbench multi-core score of 13417.0, and memory write bandwidth of 56.58 GB/sec, align with average tier results. The server lacks GPU accelerators and public IPv4 addresses. It is suited for memory-intensive applications, database operations, and small-scale language model inference utilizing Intel AMX instructions.

    Workload Profiles

    1.54Score
    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.
