    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core bare-metal server with massive local NVMe storage and DDR5 memory for demanding multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-288-lssd-metal is a bare-metal server configured with 288 dedicated vCPUs (144 physical cores) via an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 1080 GB of high-speed DDR5 RAM and 16,242 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across six drives. This instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, supported by advanced hardware instructions like AVX-512 and AMX. While single-core performance is average, its massive parallel processing capabilities and high-speed local storage make it highly efficient for large-scale database operations, high-throughput web serving, and multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    13Score
    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.
