    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An arm64 server featuring dedicated Neoverse-V2 cores and high-capacity local NVMe storage for demanding database and web serving workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-48-lssd is an arm64 server instance powered by a 48-core ARMv8 Neoverse-V2 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 192 GB of RAM and 4020 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, offering a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. Benchmark results highlight strong multi-core capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 87014.41 and top-tier performance in database operations and static web serving. The architecture provides high memory bandwidth, reaching 286.75 GB/sec for large uncached blocks, and strong Redis performance at 98.12 million operations per second. While the ARM-based design lacks x86 vector extensions like AVX-512, it offers excellent resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for modern scale-out workloads. This instance is highly suited for database hosting, high-throughput web serving, caching layers, and multi-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    3.25Score
    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.
