    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An Intel-powered virtual machine offering high memory density, integrated NVMe storage, and strong single-core performance for data-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-8-lssd is an x86_64 virtual machine configured with 8 vCPUs, 62 GB of RAM, and a bundled 402 GB local NVMe SSD. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz, it features 4 physical cores with hyper-threading and a large 504 MB L3 cache. The instance supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core capabilities, particularly in text processing and single-threaded gzip compression, alongside moderate multi-core and database execution speeds. However, Passmark memory benchmarks indicate a relative weakness in memory performance despite the high 7.75 GB per vCPU allocation. This instance is suitable for memory-intensive applications, local database operations, and text-processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.834Score
    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.
