    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server combining massive RAM, high-speed local NVMe storage, and advanced matrix extensions for intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-96-lssd is an x86_64 server instance configured with 96 vCPUs, 744 GB of RAM, and 6167 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor with 48 physical cores, it supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX instructions. Benchmarks show top-tier performance in database operations, Redis SET operations, and memory bandwidth, alongside strong multi-core CPU execution. However, single-core CPU performance and text generation for large language models remain in the average tier. This hardware profile delivers high qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive and storage-heavy workloads. It is highly suited for large database systems, in-memory caching, software compilation, and medium-scale LLM prompt processing.

    Workload Profiles

    6.51Score
    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.
