      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-memory, 96-vCPU virtual server optimized for memory-intensive enterprise databases, software compilation, and advanced CPU-based machine learning inference.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral PurposeCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-96 is a memory-optimized server instance featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs and 744 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor at 2.3 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture, it includes 48 physical cores with hyper-threading and a 260 MB L3 cache. The instance supports Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and AVX-512, which drive top-tier performance in cryptographic tasks, image processing, and LLM inference prompt processing. Benchmark results show strong multi-core capabilities and high memory bandwidth, though the instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. This profile makes the c4-highmem-96 highly efficient for memory-bound workloads, large databases, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      4.7Score
      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.
