      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 memory-optimized configuration featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, high memory density, and strong single-core performance for data-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-8 is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 62 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon 8581C processor. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 4 physical cores with hyper-threading and a 260 MB L3 cache. The processor supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. In benchmarks, it delivers top-tier single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2270.0 and strong single-threaded compression speeds. However, multi-core performance and large LLM inference tasks represent clear tradeoffs, with text generation for 7B models falling into the lower tier. This configuration offers qualitative resource density for memory-bound applications, making it suitable for database operations, Redis caching, and text processing workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.854Score
      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.
