      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, multi-core x86_64 platform delivering exceptional memory bandwidth and parallel processing power for demanding enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-288 is an x86_64 server featuring 288 dedicated vCPUs from Intel Xeon 6985P-C processors and 1080.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPUs, this instance relies on its massive core density and 504 MB L3 cache to drive compute-heavy applications. Benchmarks indicate top-tier multi-core performance, with a PassMark CPU score of 176,496.48 and a Redis SET throughput of 406.06 million operations per second. However, single-core performance remains average, and LLM text generation speeds represent a performance tradeoff. This server is optimized for highly parallelized workloads, database operations, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      13.3Score
      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.
