    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 server featuring high memory density, integrated NVMe SSD storage, and advanced matrix extensions for memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-32-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 32 vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 248.0 GB of RAM, and 1745 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating at 2.3 GHz with a 504 MB L3 cache, the processor supports AVX-512 and AMX instructions. Benchmarks place this instance in the top 10% for single-core Geekbench performance and single-threaded gzip compression, alongside strong multi-core and memory scores. It delivers 62.26 million operations per second in Redis SET benchmarks and 59.7 GB/sec in static web serving. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio and bundled local storage offer qualitative cost efficiency for I/O-intensive and memory-heavy deployments. This server is suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, and localized machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    3.1Score
    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.
