    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 server combining dedicated Intel Xeon processing, 31 GB of RAM, and local NVMe storage for memory-focused workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-4-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor at 2.3 GHz, 31.0 GB of RAM, and a 137 GB local NVMe SSD. It lacks GPU acceleration. Performance benchmarks show strong single-threaded capabilities, with gzip compression at 35.55 GB/sec and Geekbench text processing at 2828.0. However, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are generally weak, with large-block memory read bandwidth rated as poor. Caching performance is stable, with Redis SET operations averaging 7.38 million operations per second. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-leaning workloads that do not demand high memory bandwidth or heavy multi-threaded processing. It is best suited for caching layers, text processing, and lightweight database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.46Score
    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.
