    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized x86 server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, integrated NVMe storage, and advanced matrix multiplication extensions.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-8-lssd is a memory-optimized server configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs and 62 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor at 2.3 GHz. It includes a 402 GB local NVMe SSD for high-speed storage. The x86_64 architecture supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Performance benchmarks show strong capabilities in text processing and gzip compression, alongside average database and multi-core processing speeds. However, a key tradeoff is its memory subsystem, with large-block read bandwidth and Passmark memory scores falling into the bottom 25% tier. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy tasks that do not require GPU acceleration, making it suitable for database hosting, text processing, and lightweight LLM inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.827Score
    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.
