    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core-count x86_64 server featuring massive local NVMe SSD storage and top-tier multi-threaded compute performance for database workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-288-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 288 vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 1080 GB of RAM, and 19,031 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 48 drives. Operating at 2.3 GHz with a 504 MB L3 cache, it delivers top-tier multi-core CPU and memory read bandwidth performance, placing in the top 10% of benchmarks. While single-core performance and LLM text generation speeds are moderate to weak, the server excels in multi-threaded workloads, database operations, and high-throughput web serving. Its high resource density provides qualitative cost efficiency for massive parallel processing and storage-heavy database workloads, offering a powerful balance of compute and local storage without dedicated GPU acceleration. It is highly optimized for enterprise-scale databases, software compilation, and intensive data processing tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    13.1Score
    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.
