    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An arm64 server combining dedicated Neoverse-V2 cores with high-capacity local NVMe storage for database and multi-threaded workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral PurposeCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-48-lssd is an arm64-based server featuring 48 dedicated physical cores on the ARMv8 Neoverse-V2 architecture running at 3.0 GHz. It is configured with 192.0 GB of RAM and 4020 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, with no GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show top-tier performance in software compilation, database operations, and static web serving, alongside strong multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth results. Single-core performance remains average, representing a tradeoff for single-threaded applications. This instance is efficient for parallelized workloads, distributed databases, and high-throughput web serving that benefit from dense local storage and dedicated ARM cores.

    Workload Profiles

    3.24Score
    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.
