      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal server delivering exceptional multi-core CPU performance and high-speed DDR5 memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-288-metal is a bare-metal server featuring 288 dedicated vCPUs powered by Intel Xeon 6985P-C processors at 4.2 GHz, paired with 1080.0 GB of 6 GHz DDR5 memory. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, this instance relies entirely on network-attached storage. Benchmark results place its multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth in the top 10% tier, with exceptional throughput in Redis SET operations and PassMark database tests. However, text generation for small LLM models is a notable bottleneck, performing in the bottom 10%. This server is designed for high-density, multi-threaded CPU workloads, large-scale database operations, and software compilation where massive parallel processing and high memory bandwidth are required without the need for local physical disks or GPU acceleration.

      Workload Profiles

      13.9Score
      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.
