      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 32-core ARM-based instance delivering high-density multi-core performance and exceptional memory bandwidth for scale-out workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      The Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-32 is an arm64-based server instance featuring 32 dedicated physical cores powered by the ARMv8 Neoverse-V2 processor at 3.0 GHz. It is equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB of memory per core, alongside 80 MB of L3 cache. The instance lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks reveal top-tier performance in database operations and multi-core processing, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 22619.0 and a Passmark database score of 49533.61. Memory bandwidth is highly competitive, reaching 343.0 GB/sec for uncached large block reads. This profile makes the c4a-standard-32 a cost-efficient, high-density choice for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, database hosting, and static web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      2.63Score
      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.
