    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and fast local NVMe storage for demanding database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-32-lssd is a memory-optimized server configured with 32 dedicated vCPUs, 16 physical Intel Xeon 6985P-C cores, and 248 GB of RAM. It features 1745 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and lacks GPU accelerators. The processor operates at 2.3 GHz with a 504 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2307.0 and gzip compression at 36.83 GB/sec, alongside strong multi-core capabilities. This instance is highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads, offering high resource density and fast local storage. It is optimized for databases, caching layers, and localized machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    3.08Score
    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.
