      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors with advanced matrix extensions for demanding multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-96 is a compute-focused server configured with 96 vCPUs and 360 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture with dedicated CPU allocation, it features 48 physical cores and a 2.3 GHz clock speed. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, representing a tradeoff for storage-heavy or graphics-intensive applications. However, it excels in multi-threaded compute tasks, supported by Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and AVX-512. Benchmarks highlight top-tier performance in multi-core processing, image and text processing, and static web serving throughput. It also demonstrates strong capabilities in software compilation and LLM prompt processing. This profile makes the c4-standard-96 highly cost-efficient for high-density, CPU-bound workloads such as web serving, cryptographic operations, and parallelized data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      4.6Score
      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.
