    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory and storage server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local NVMe SSDs for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-96-lssd is a high-capacity, memory-optimized server configured with 96 vCPUs and 744 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor with 48 physical cores and a 504 MB L3 cache, it integrates 6167 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Benchmarks place this instance in the top 10% for database operations, Redis SET performance, and software compilation. It also delivers top-tier memory bandwidth of 7676.9 GB/sec for cached reads and strong multi-core processing. The combination of dense memory, dedicated compute, and high-speed local storage makes it highly efficient for demanding workloads such as large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and high-throughput web serving, though the absence of a GPU limits its utility for heavy deep learning training.

    Workload Profiles

    6.45Score
    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.
