    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86 server combining dedicated Intel Xeon processing, high memory density, and local NVMe storage for single-threaded and memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-4-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz, paired with 31.0 GB of RAM and a 137 GB local NVMe SSD. While single-core performance is average, highlighted by top-tier single-threaded text processing and strong gzip compression, multi-core execution and memory bandwidth are weak, with large-block memory reads dropping to 22.46 GB/sec. The processor supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, which support moderate LLM inference speeds on small models. Lacking a GPU and complimentary public IPv4 addresses, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, single-threaded workloads, Redis caching, and lightweight database operations that benefit from local NVMe storage without requiring high multi-core throughput.

    Workload Profiles

    0.471Score
    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.
