      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal platform delivering 288 dedicated vCPUs and exceptional DDR5 memory bandwidth for compute-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-288-metal is a bare-metal server configured with 288 dedicated vCPUs from Intel Xeon 6985P-C processors running at 4.2 GHz, paired with 1080.0 GB of 6 GHz DDR5 memory. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it features a 504 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX. This instance delivers top-tier multi-core compute and memory bandwidth performance, excelling in database operations, cryptography, and multi-threaded decompression. However, it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, and exhibits lower performance in small-model LLM text generation. The c4-standard-288-metal is highly efficient for compute-dense enterprise workloads, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving that rely on network-attached storage.

      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.
