      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and advanced matrix extensions for high-throughput memory and web-serving workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-32 is a memory-optimized server instance powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C x86_64 processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 248.0 GB of RAM. It features a 260 MB L3 cache and advanced instruction sets including Intel AMX and AVX-512. The instance does not include local storage or GPUs. Benchmark results show strong performance in static web serving at 51.15 GB/sec, image processing, and small-model LLM text generation, which reaches 421.19 tokens/sec. However, it exhibits poor performance on larger 70B LLM text generation tasks. This configuration is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads that do not require local NVMe storage or GPU acceleration, making it appropriate for database operations, software compilation, and memory-cached web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      1.9Score
      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.
