      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated memory-optimized virtual machine featuring advanced Intel AMX instructions for accelerated data processing and in-memory database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-24 is an x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring 24 dedicated vCPUs and 186 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. With 12 physical cores, hyper-threading, and a 260 MB L3 cache, the instance supports advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512. It does not include local storage or bundled GPUs. Benchmarks indicate strong text processing capabilities, scoring in the top 25% on Geekbench, and highly efficient small-model LLM text generation at 394.04 tokens per second. The instance delivers a balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio of 7.75 GB per core, making it a cost-effective choice for memory-intensive workloads. It is configured for in-memory databases, Redis caching layers, software compilation, and enterprise application hosting where dedicated compute resources and high memory density are required.

      Workload Profiles

      1.8Score
      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.
