    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    High-density memory combined with fast local NVMe SSD storage and Intel Xeon processors for memory-intensive databases and real-time processing workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-24-lssd is an x86_64 compute instance equipped with an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz, offering 24 dedicated vCPUs across 12 physical cores with hyperthreading. It features 186 GB of system memory, providing approximately 7.75 GB of RAM per vCPU, alongside 1343 GB of high-speed local NVMe SSD storage spread across four drives. Hardware acceleration capabilities include Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and AVX-512 extensions. Benchmarks reveal top-tier single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2321.0, rapid gzip compression rates, and top-tier small-model LLM text generation speeds of 394.37 tokens per second. The server demonstrates strong multi-core throughput and image processing metrics. Lacking discrete GPUs, this configuration balances high memory capacity and fast localized storage. It is well suited for memory-bound databases, in-memory data processing, caching systems, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    2.2Score
    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.
