    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server with high-capacity local NVMe storage and advanced matrix extensions for demanding database and CPU-based inference workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-48-lssd is an x86_64 server configured with 48 vCPUs (24 physical cores) powered by a 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 372.0 GB of RAM, and 2951 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 8 drives. It features advanced CPU instruction sets, including AVX-512 and Intel AMX for matrix operations. Benchmarks reveal top-tier performance in single-threaded compression, image processing, and Geekbench single-core tests, alongside strong multi-core, database, and Redis execution. The server's 7.75 GB of RAM per core and high-speed local storage deliver qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive and storage-heavy workloads. It is highly suited for database hosting, large-scale software compilation, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    3.9Score
    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.
