      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density memory instance featuring ninety-six virtual cores and advanced matrix extensions for demanding enterprise database and memory-bound workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-96 is a memory-optimized server configured with 96 vCPUs and 744 GB of RAM, running on a 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon 8581C processor with 48 physical cores. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture, it features advanced hardware capabilities including Intel AMX and AVX-512. Benchmarks indicate top-tier performance in multi-core processing, text and image manipulation, and cryptographic operations, alongside strong memory read bandwidth of 288.74 GB/sec. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, presenting a tradeoff for workloads requiring direct-attached physical disks or hardware graphics acceleration. It is designed for memory-intensive applications, including large database operations, Redis caching, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      4.68Score
      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.
