    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory and local NVMe storage instance optimized for enterprise database workloads and intensive multi-core processing.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-96-lssd is a memory-optimized and storage-intensive server instance designed for demanding enterprise workloads. It is equipped with 96 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz, 744 GB of RAM, and 6,167 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 16 drives. The architecture supports advanced instruction sets such as Intel AMX and AVX-512. In benchmark testing, the instance delivers top-tier performance in database operations, Redis throughput, and software compilation, alongside strong multi-core CPU capabilities and high memory bandwidth. This configuration is highly efficient for resource-dense deployments, eliminating the latency of external storage. It is best suited for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data-intensive processing tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    6.6Score
    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.
