    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized x86_64 instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, local NVMe SSD storage, and strong single-core processing capabilities.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-16-lssd is an x86_64 server instance powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor with 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores) running at 2.3 GHz. It features 124.0 GB of RAM, yielding 7.75 GB per core, and includes 539 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across two drives. Benchmark results place this instance in the top tier for single-core execution, text processing, and small-model LLM text generation, while multi-core performance and memory bandwidth remain in the average tier. The hardware profile lacks GPU acceleration but provides a high memory-to-core ratio and fast local storage. This makes the instance suitable for memory-intensive databases, text processing pipelines, caching layers, and software compilation workloads requiring low-latency local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.81Score
    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.
