      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring 24 vCPUs and 186 GB RAM, designed for memory-bound workloads and database operations.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-24 is an x86_64 architecture server optimized for memory-intensive workloads. Powered by a 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon 8581C processor, it delivers 24 dedicated vCPUs across 12 physical cores, supported by 186.0 GB of RAM and a 260 MB L3 cache. The hardware features advanced instruction sets, including Intel AMX and AVX-512, which assist in cryptographic and vector operations. While it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, the instance exhibits strong single-core performance, particularly in text and image processing, alongside top-tier text generation speeds for small LLM models. Its balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio of 7.75 GB per core makes it a qualitatively cost-efficient choice for database operations, memory-bound applications, and general-purpose workloads requiring substantial memory capacity without the overhead of higher compute tiers.

      Workload Profiles

      1.79Score
      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.
