    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An arm64 server combining 48 dedicated physical cores with high-capacity local NVMe storage for demanding database and multi-threaded workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral PurposeCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-48-lssd is an arm64 server featuring 48 dedicated physical ARMv8 Neoverse-V2 cores running at 3.0 GHz, 192 GB of RAM, and 4020 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. This instance delivers top-tier performance in multi-core benchmarks, software compilation, and database operations, alongside strong memory bandwidth. While single-core processing and text manipulation scores fall into the average tier, its dedicated core allocation and high-capacity local storage provide excellent resource density for multi-threaded workloads. The lack of AVX or AMX instruction sets represents a key architectural tradeoff. This server is optimized for database hosting, static web serving, and multi-threaded compilation tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    3.2Score
    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.
