    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-dense virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, advanced matrix extensions, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    The Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-8-lssd is an x86_64 memory-optimized server featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 62.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 402 GB local NVMe SSD. It delivers top-tier performance in text processing and strong results in single-threaded gzip compression and small-model LLM text generation. However, it exhibits tradeoffs in memory performance, with weak uncached large-block read-only memory bandwidth and a low Passmark memory score. The instance supports advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512. Qualitatively, it provides a resource-dense profile for memory-heavy applications requiring fast local storage. It is best suited for database operations, text processing, and lightweight machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.83Score
    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.
