      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density memory-optimized instance delivering exceptional multi-core processing and memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-288 is a memory-optimized server configured with 288 vCPUs and 2232 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz, this x86_64 instance features 144 physical cores with hyperthreading, a 504 MB L3 cache, and support for Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. It delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, alongside high-throughput database and Redis operations. However, single-core performance is average, and text generation for small LLM models is weak. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs. It is highly suited for memory-intensive databases, enterprise applications, and multi-threaded workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      12.9Score
      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.
