      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 48-vCPU compute instance featuring Intel Xeon processors and Advanced Matrix Extensions for high-throughput processing and compilation workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-48 is an x86_64 compute-focused server instance equipped with 48 vCPUs and 180 GB of RAM. Powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz, it features 24 physical cores, a 260 MB L3 cache, and advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX). The instance does not include local storage or GPUs. In benchmarks, the c4-standard-48 delivers strong performance, particularly in image processing, text processing, and software compilation, placing it in the top tiers for these workloads. Memory bandwidth reaches 144.84 GB/sec for large uncached blocks. This server is optimized for compute-heavy applications, static web serving, and moderate machine learning inference workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      2.98Score
      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.
