      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 64-core arm64 processor instance delivering high-throughput memory bandwidth and strong multi-threaded performance for compute-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4a-highcpu-64 is an arm64 compute-optimized server featuring 64 dedicated physical cores on the ARMv8 Neoverse-V2 architecture running at 3.0 GHz. It is configured with 128 GB of RAM, providing 2.0 GB of memory per core, and lacks local storage or GPU accelerators. In benchmark evaluations, the instance delivers top-tier multi-core performance, particularly in software compilation, multi-threaded decompression, and Redis SET operations, which reached 134.13 million operations per second. It also exhibits high memory bandwidth, with cached read speeds of 7912.85 GB/sec. However, single-core performance and encryption tests remain in the average tier. The 2.0 GB per core ratio and lack of local storage represent key resource tradeoffs. This instance is suited for compute-intensive, highly parallel workloads such as web serving, compilation pipelines, and physics simulations.

      Workload Profiles

      4.19Score
      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.
