    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A quad-GPU accelerated server featuring 96 GB of VRAM and 48 vCPUs, optimized for high-throughput machine learning inference and parallel computing.

    GPU AcceleratedCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform g2-standard-48 is a graphics-optimized server designed for GPU-accelerated workloads. It features 48 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon processor with 24 physical cores running at 2.2 GHz, paired with 192.0 GB of system memory. The server is equipped with four NVIDIA L4 GPUs from the Ada Lovelace architecture, providing a total of 96 GB of VRAM, though it lacks local storage. Benchmark data highlights a significant performance divergence: while single-core CPU performance is weak, multi-core capabilities are average, and GPU-driven LLM inference speeds rank in the top tier. This resource profile makes the instance highly efficient for parallel processing tasks. It is best suited for machine learning inference, large language model deployment, and graphics rendering workloads where GPU acceleration offsets the modest single-core CPU performance.

    Workload Profiles

    1.45Score
    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.
