      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-powered memory-optimized server featuring sixty-four dedicated cores and high-bandwidth memory for demanding database and compilation workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4a-highmem-64 is an ARM-based server instance designed for memory-intensive workloads. It features 64 dedicated physical cores on the ARMv8 Neoverse-V2 architecture running at 3.0 GHz, paired with 512.0 GB of RAM, yielding 8.0 GB of memory per core. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show top-tier capabilities in multi-core processing, software compilation, and memory bandwidth, with cached read-only small block speeds reaching 7912.04 GB/sec. Database operations, Redis SET throughput, and static web serving also perform in the top tier, while single-core execution remains average. This hardware profile offers high resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound applications. It is highly suited for database hosting, large-scale caching, software build pipelines, and multi-threaded data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      4.2Score
      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.
