    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized instance featuring high-speed local NVMe storage and advanced matrix extensions for demanding database and data processing workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-24-lssd is a memory-optimized server instance designed for resource-intensive workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor on the x86_64 architecture, it delivers 24 vCPUs across 12 physical cores at 2.3 GHz, paired with 186.0 GB of RAM and 1343 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. The CPU features advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX for accelerated matrix operations. Benchmark data highlights top-tier single-threaded performance, with Geekbench single-core and gzip compression results in the top 10%, alongside strong multi-core and image processing capabilities. With 7.75 GB of memory per vCPU and fast local storage, this instance provides a balanced, high-density hardware profile without dedicated GPUs. It is well-suited for database operations, memory-intensive caching, software compilation, and data processing tasks requiring rapid local disk access.

    Workload Profiles

    2.24Score
    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.
