    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A bare-metal, memory-optimized server featuring 288 vCPUs, 2.2 TB of DDR5 RAM, and 16 TB of local NVMe SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-288-lssd-metal is a bare-metal, memory-optimized server featuring 288 vCPUs (144 physical cores) powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor at 4.2 GHz. It is equipped with 2232.0 GB of DDR5 memory and 16242 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, with no integrated GPUs. The server delivers top-tier performance in multi-core CPU benchmarks, database operations, and memory bandwidth, although its single-core performance and LLM text generation speeds are average to poor. This high-density hardware profile is designed for memory-intensive, parallel workloads. It is best suited for large-scale database hosting, high-throughput caching systems like Redis, and enterprise software compilation.

    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.
