Server Description
A high-density arm64 compute instance featuring seventy-two dedicated cores and a lean two gigabytes of memory per vCPU.
Google Cloud Platform c4a-highcpu-72 is an arm64-based server instance configured with 72 dedicated vCPUs and 144.0 GB of system memory. Operating with a memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU, this compute-optimized instance is designed for high-density processing tasks. The hardware profile does not include local storage or integrated GPUs, meaning storage must be provisioned via network-attached options, and workloads requiring hardware acceleration are not supported. Additionally, the instance provides zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. From a qualitative standpoint, the dedicated arm64 architecture offers high compute density, making it a resource-efficient choice for multi-threaded applications that do not demand large memory allocations. Suitable workloads include batch processing, web serving, containerized microservices, and distributed computing tasks that scale horizontally across many threads.
