    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory and storage-optimized platform featuring 288 vCPUs and local NVMe SSDs for demanding enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-288-lssd is a memory-optimized and storage-dense server powered by Intel Xeon 6985P-C processors on the x86_64 architecture. It delivers 288 vCPUs across 144 physical cores, paired with 2232 GB of RAM and 19031 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 48 drives. Designed for high-throughput workloads, it achieves top-tier benchmarks in multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and Redis SET operations. The processor supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, enhancing cryptographic and matrix math operations. This server is highly suited for large-scale in-memory databases, heavy data processing, software compilation, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    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.
