    Server Description

    An ARM64 server combining dedicated Neoverse-V2 cores with high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for demanding database and memory-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-32-lssd is an ARM64 server instance powered by a 3.0 GHz Neoverse-V2 processor with 32 dedicated physical cores and 32 vCPUs. It features 128.0 GB of RAM and 2412 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 6 devices, with no GPU accelerators. The instance delivers top-tier performance in Passmark database operations and memory benchmarks, alongside strong multi-core Geekbench scores. Its memory bandwidth is exceptionally high, reaching 345.42 GB/sec for large uncached blocks. Qualitatively, the ARM architecture and bundled local NVMe SSDs provide excellent resource density and cost-efficiency for I/O-heavy applications. This server is highly suited for high-throughput database systems, Redis caching, software compilation, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    2.6Score
    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.
