    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density compute and memory platform featuring massive local NVMe storage for enterprise database and in-memory workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-288-lssd is a high-density server instance featuring 288 dedicated vCPUs on Intel Xeon 6985P-C processors with an x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 2232.0 GB of RAM, yielding 7.75 GB per core, and 19031 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 48 drives. Benchmark data places this instance in the top 10% for multi-core CPU performance, large-block memory bandwidth, and Redis SET operations, where it achieves 390.97 million operations per second. While single-core performance is moderate, its massive memory and local storage capacity make it highly cost-efficient for consolidating large-scale database workloads. It is best suited for in-memory databases, high-throughput web serving, and intensive data processing tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    13Score
    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.
