    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory and storage server featuring 288 dedicated vCPUs and nineteen terabytes of local NVMe SSD capacity.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-288-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 288 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 2232.0 GB of RAM, and 19031 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 48 drives. It lacks GPU acceleration. In benchmarks, the server delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, with uncached read speeds exceeding 1060 GB/sec and Redis SET operations reaching 390.97 million operations per second. However, single-core CPU performance is average, and LLM text generation for small models is weak. This hardware profile is optimized for large-scale database operations, high-throughput web serving, and memory-intensive parallel computing.

    Workload Profiles

    13.1Score
    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.
