      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core compute instance designed for parallelized workloads, offering high memory read bandwidth and dedicated Intel Xeon processing power.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-highcpu-96 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance configured with 96 vCPUs and 86 GB of RAM. Powered by dedicated Intel Xeon processors with 48 physical cores, it features a 38 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512F instructions. The instance does not include local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks show weak single-core execution but strong multi-core CPU capabilities and high memory read bandwidth. It excels in parallel operations, such as Redis SET tasks, while exhibiting average performance in software compilation and ray tracing. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 0.9 GB per core, this instance is qualitatively cost-effective for compute-dense, highly parallelized workloads. It is best suited for multi-threaded batch processing, web serving, and CPU-bound engineering simulations.

      Workload Profiles

      2.33Score
      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.
