      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-capacity, multi-core x86_64 server offering strong parallel processing and memory bandwidth for distributed workloads without local storage.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-96 is a general-purpose server featuring 96 vCPUs and 360.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor with 48 physical cores. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show a distinct contrast: single-core metrics, such as Geekbench single-core and single-threaded compression, rank in the bottom 25%, while multi-core metrics, including stress-ng multi-core and memory bandwidth, rank in the top 25%. Redis SET operations are also strong, achieving 62.03 million operations per second. Qualitatively, this instance offers a cost-efficient option for highly parallelized workloads due to its high resource density, despite the single-core performance limitations of its older CPU architecture. It is best suited for multi-threaded applications, database operations, static web serving, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      2.28Score
      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.
