      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal platform combining massive DDR5 memory capacity with 288 Intel Xeon vCPUs for demanding multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-288-metal is a bare-metal server featuring 288 vCPUs and 2232 GB of DDR5 RAM. Powered by Intel Xeon 6985P-C processors running at 4.2 GHz, it delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, reaching 1090.07 GB/sec for large block reads. The hardware supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, making it highly capable for vector and matrix computations. While single-core performance and small-model LLM text generation are moderate, the server excels in multi-threaded execution, software compilation, and database operations, processing 423.02 million Redis SET operations per second. Lacking local storage and GPUs, this instance is optimized for memory-intensive, high-throughput enterprise workloads, in-memory databases, and large-scale parallel processing.

      Workload Profiles

      13.6Score
      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.
