    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density compute platform combining ninety-six dedicated vCPUs with six terabytes of local NVMe storage for intensive database workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    The Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-96-lssd is a compute-optimized server featuring 96 vCPUs (48 physical cores) powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz. It is equipped with 360 GB of RAM and 6,167 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 16 drives, with no GPU accelerators. The platform excels in multi-core processing and memory bandwidth, achieving top-tier benchmarks in database operations, Redis SET operations, and software compilation. While single-core performance and LLM text generation speeds are moderate, its support for Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and AVX-512 enables efficient vector calculations. This instance is designed for high-throughput databases, static web serving, and CPU-based inference workloads where high-speed local storage and dense compute resources are required.

    Workload Profiles

    6.48Score
    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.
