      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal server delivering massive DDR5 memory bandwidth and 288 dedicated vCPUs for demanding enterprise database and compute workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-288-metal is a bare-metal server featuring 288 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz, paired with 2232 GB of 6 GHz DDR5 memory. It lacks local storage and GPUs but excels in memory-intensive and highly parallelized workloads. Benchmark results place its multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth in the top tier, with large-block memory read speeds reaching 1090.07 GB/sec and Redis SET operations exceeding 423 million per second. The processor includes Intel AMX and AVX-512 extensions, enhancing its capability for vector and matrix calculations. This configuration is highly efficient for large-scale in-memory databases, heavy multi-threaded compilation, and high-throughput web serving, though the lack of local storage requires network-attached storage solutions.

      Workload Profiles

      13.4Score
      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.
