    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 server with dedicated Intel Xeon processing, local NVMe storage, and hardware-accelerated matrix extensions for balanced workloads.

    General PurposeCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-8-lssd is an x86_64 server featuring 8 vCPUs from a dedicated Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 30.0 GB of RAM, and a 137 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating at 2.3 GHz, the processor supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX extensions. Benchmarks indicate average overall compute performance, highlighted by strong single-threaded gzip compression and top-tier text processing. However, uncached large-block memory read bandwidth is weak at 29.93 GB/sec, representing a key hardware tradeoff. This server is suited for general-purpose workloads, web serving, and database operations that benefit from local SSD storage, as well as small-scale AI inference tasks leveraging its hardware-accelerated matrix instructions.

    Workload Profiles

    0.816Score
    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.
