      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal compute platform featuring 288 Intel Xeon cores and DDR5 memory for parallelized database and simulation workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-288-metal is a bare-metal server configured with 288 vCPUs across 144 physical Intel Xeon 6985P-C cores running at 4.2 GHz, paired with 1080 GB of 6 GHz DDR5 memory. Lacking local storage and GPUs, this instance relies entirely on network storage. It demonstrates top-tier performance in multi-core CPU benchmarks, database operations, and memory bandwidth, with cached read speeds reaching 23,040.71 GB/sec. However, single-core performance is average, and text generation for small language models is poor. This server is highly efficient for parallelized, memory-bandwidth-sensitive workloads such as database hosting, large-scale software compilation, and multi-threaded data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      14Score
      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.
