    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density compute and storage platform featuring ninety-six vCPUs and over six terabytes of local NVMe SSD capacity.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-96-lssd is a high-density, compute-optimized server featuring 96 vCPUs and 360 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor. It integrates 6167 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 16 drives, with no GPU. The architecture supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX, which drive top-tier performance in database operations, software compilation, and cryptography. Benchmarks show exceptional memory bandwidth and multi-core capabilities, with Redis SET operations reaching 171.76 million operations per second and static web serving throughput hitting 150.43 GB/sec. This server offers high qualitative cost efficiency for storage-heavy, compute-intensive deployments, making it an excellent fit for large-scale databases, high-throughput web serving, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    5.5Score
    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.
